Surprise offer in the street

I spent much of the autumn of 2011 restoring to a good condition the mechanics and bodywork my 20 year old Land Rover Discovery . After spending hundreds of hours and thousands of pounds on the task, and finally completing it, I decided, as the "icing on the cake" to search for what is known as a Loadliner. This is a large plastic box that fills the rear quarter of a Discovery, but it was only specific to the Discoveries built for just a few years from 1989 to about 1994, and the production company was long gone. I had many times searched ebay and other parts outlets, but was unable, over several weeks, to trace a used Loadliner. Modern equivalents exist, but they are not suitable for my tasks of holding wet sea kayaking gear. While still engaged on this search, on 29th September 2011, I was standing by my parked vehicle in a side street of a nearby town, waiting to go in to a dentist appointment. The quarter mile long street was deserted, except for an elderly lady who was slowly making her way up the pavement towards me from about 100 metres away. So as not to concern her that a lone man was standing aimlessly in the street, I opened the rear door of the Land Rover, and pretended to sort out the tool box I carry inside. After a while I was surprised to notice out of the corner of my eye that the lady had stopped right by me. I turned slowly towards her, and she said " I can see you look after your Discovery. Do you want to buy a Loadliner for it?" That afternoon I became the pleased, and somewhat surprised, owner of the Loadliner. Nick.
