Lesson 25. Section 1. The Lucky story of the holiday money.

On a holiday, one summer, we were camping of course, (Yes, of course), er, and had been to Italy and, er, back into France (Yeah), and at the border, we had an awful lot of trouble finding the passport and (Mm) the this and that (Mm) to move over from Italy to France, erm, so I was rather disappointed at the mess we'd made of it and as we travelled on into France, I spent the rest of that day tidying up the car (Mm) and I very carefully put into one folder, the passports, the tickets, traveller's cheques and all our currency (Yeah) and it was all beautifully packed so that we wouldn't be caught in this position again of not being able to find (Mm, Mm) anything.

Erm, we eventually decided to stop in a town where we knew there was a camp-site and in the town we stopped at a garage, really to ask the way to the camp-site, but while we were there we thought, well, we'll get some petrol, erm, and, er, ask the question at the same time. (Yeah)

Erm, the man put the petrol in the car, and with all the efficiency, I took out the folder (Yeah) with the money in it (Mm) and paid for the petrol and then we went on our way, the camp-site was about two or three miles away. Er, when we got to the camp-site, we went into the office and one of the things one usually carries as a camper is a little sort of card, erm, a camping ticket, if you like, and, er, I... What's that for?

Well, one gets reduced rates for being a (Oh, I see) member of a camping club, (Mm) or something like that. Erm, and I went to get it from the folder, properly packed folder (Mm), and I could not find the folder.
