A Life Or Death Sandwich


Driving into the modest Cotswold Mecca that is Chipping Norton I find myself in a most unusual situation.

I am sandwiched between a hearse in front of me and an ambulance behind. I can't help but devise a scenario.

Imagine if the ambulance driver became distracted by a text message from his nan and drove into the back of me, smashing me into the hearse in front. I go through the windscreen and end up sprawled on my bonnet gasping for life. A critical state yet strangely fortunate. If I survive I have an instant ambulance to whisk me quickly to hospital and life support. On the other hand if I snuff it at least they can just carry me into the hearse and get me buried nice and quick. All neatly done before the Autumn Sales.
