RANDOM REMINDER

BOX AND CAR

Never, they used to tell us at primary school, put off until tomorrow what you can do today, and there is widespread admiration for the resolute types, the men who make decisions. Some of them even wear special bats to prove it There’s romething wonderful about the chap who just goes out and does things, without waiting to be told, without temporising, delaying, or even showing a hint of unwillingness. Like the man we know who made sure he would not be left among those

who did not register their cars this year. Even now, there must be a pocket or two of resistance remaining: but this man is not to be found there. The new labels, it will be reniembered, bad to be affixed on a Friday. It so happened he didn’t use the car on the Friday and it was away on Saturday. But he had to drive it on Sunday and remembered, as he shaved, that he had to put the label on the windscreen. And being an efficient man, he remembered that the first necessity was a clean wind-

screen, free of all old labels and bits and pieces. So he went outside and cleaned the windscreen. Only to discover that there was no new label in the car. It was, you see, a vehicle provided for his use by his firm. And the reason he had not driven it the previous day was that his deputy always had it on Saturdays. And the reason that there was no new licensing label in the car was that the deputy, also an efficiency expert, had put it on the windscreen. On the Saturday.
