Mr Billis has done a most satisfactory job with this serialised comedic play of fools. I especially liked the setting.

Having worked in the field of tyres for over a decade, I can tell you one thing, tyres aren't easy. They can be a cruel fish.

I call tyre work, rubbing rubber, because tyres is a life of rubbing up against rubber.

Interesting fact: The phrase, rub of the green, actually comes from tyre work. The old Dunlop racing range of tyres used by Jaguar F1 in the early 50s, came with a green line that encircled the rim. These tyres were very successful for Jaguar, hence the phrase, rub of the green, meaning, to be lucky.
