They live in a house in Fenham, so I tried to get there.Several witnesses have said you then turned right at the traffic lights, into Eldon Square bus station and dropped your mates off. Realising your stand was blocked - you then drove around the block again. Getting onto the stand at the second time of asking.
I got onto Westgate Road, missed my turn off, turned into some housing estate instead, got lost, ended up on a very narrow cul-de-sac where a 3 point turn had to be done, navigated myself back onto Westgate Road, found my correct turn off, then turned down the wrong street, found the right street, drove past the blinking house where my friends live without even noticing, leading to another 3 point turn being made in a different street.
Then, in the actual drive, I went the wrong way several times and accidentally drove into the Bus, Cycle, Taxi & Authorised Vehicles section of road in between the Blackett Street/Newgate Street junction & the mini Tesco on the way to Eldon Square bus station. I sincerely hope I do not get a letter through my door...
I often receive the nickname "Captain (then my surname, which shall remain anonymous)" from my friends, but I think Captain Sense of Direction is more appropriate here...
A late running mate, got a wag of a finger - before you closed the doors and made off onto Percy Street.
Any truth in these rumours?
