"Ah, so now you suddenly appear! Don't worry darling I've loaded the van up already, without your help.
I've got the situation under control, I can drive the van by myself.
You look both amused and nervous... You think that because I am a 'girly girl' I cant start and drive your van, don't you?"
Turns out that trying to prove my boyfriend wrong was a huge mistake... The van doesn't start, it cranks > Fires > ... I can't keep it alive, pumping the gas doesn't help, neither red lining it - I stall it trying to reverse. All round Disaster!
