Fiesta Sierra

Where would we be without car body panels? Cold and exposed, that’s where. Without spares our cars would be like those disposable cameras – used once and cast aside.

Without decoding our radios, we might miss the news.

If Scotland votes for its own freedom, St George’s flag will still fly proudly on this south London garage. But way, way up north there will be celebrations. Fiesta time for the Scots who reclaim their independence.

While quiet negotiations take place to make changes to the phonetic alphabet: Sierra, Tango,  Uniform, Victor..  In the new Divided Kingdom Whiskey will be replaced by Wolverhampton… the exact place on your trip to Edinburgh when you realise that Great Britain is now divided by borders, and you’ve left your passport at home.
