Ah ~ The old "Sorry, missed the gear stick" story eh?
That was my Driving instructor
Regular driving lessons on a Wednesday - pick me up at 11 - drive into the countryside for a pub lunch - drive home for about 2 - 3 pm depending on what other lessons he had.
Nothing ever happened - not for his want of trying - but I was getting a 3 hour driving lesson for the price of one with lunch thrown in and could rebutt his suggestive comments and actions even then
