That's a handy tip to know, anyone got any more?

Perhaps we should start a thread of handy tips for motorists.

We have all heard storys about female hitch hikers, But did anyone ever have one?
I stopped for one in her 20's and thought my luck was in, till her boyfriend a smelly hippy type appeared from behind bushes.

I think that was the standard procedure to get you to stop.

Just stories I think as often or not they always had companions who would have made excellent bodyguards or perhaps it was just my luck.

Maybe he was her pimp?

Maybe I was just lucky! I picked up a female hitchhiker on South Mimms services and ended up staying with her in Australia for some of the time and her staying in Leeds with me some of the time.
We've split up since but it was a great 3-4 years whilst it lasted.

robertdavey6, Hi , well that was some overnight tramp you were on, what ferry did you catch to and from Oz?. Further, were you getting night out money all that time?.
