I have no views on such matters and remain completely neutral on the subject.

However I would like to tell some tall tales of old.

Once upon a time in a land far far away, no so long ago, a couple of local low life's attempted to steal the old fellas Holden from across the road.

It was late one dark summers night.

Apparently a couple of fit, keen young neighbours heard what was going on and descended from their lodging to challenge said car thieves to a duel.

Said car thieves, on seeing said Fit Keen Young Fellas, said to themselves bugger this, decamped from said Holden and did a runner leaving the old fellas car in the middle of the road with the doors wide open.

Said Keen Young Neighbours said this isn't right and without further thought immediately gave chase.

Said Car Thieves, who had attempted to steal an old mans pride and joy, made a fatal flaw and ran into the very large and very dark Racecourse that was nearby, hoping to make good their escape.

But said keen young fellas with their local knowledge, keen eyesight and hearing were swift of foot and soon over took said car thieves.

Other neighbours had by this time gathered on the street to see what the commotion was all about and to their surprise they began to hear muffled grunts, more than a few thumps and several healthy whacks accompanied with shrill sounds of what sounded like someone experiencing some pain,

This was shortly followed by an unknown voice yelling out "And tell your mate that's what's gonna happen to him when we catch him".

Several minutes after these noises had ceased said Keen Young Fellas appeared from the darkness of the racecourse looking pretty pleased with themselves.

The older women folk who had gathered on the street immediately began to enquire about the noises they had heard and the whereabouts of said car thieves.

One keen young fella was heard to say, never caught up with them, Don't know what happened but had also heard the noises and decided it was time to leave said very dark racecourse.

Said neighbours, accepting of this plausible explanation, then helped the Old Fella put his Holden back in the car port and secure it for the remainder of the night.

Everyone gathered then slowly went back to their houses and after a few celebratory beers and several retellings of the nights adventures said Keen Young Fellas also retired for the night, exhausted from their adventures but feeling very pleased with their endeavours.

Said Holden was never been touched by low life's again.

And they all lived happily ever after.

The End

Cheers
Pete
