Hubcap Chaos !!!!!

I was stopped at an intersection this morning - waiting for the traffic light to change from red to green,as they normally do. Having this one work was quite unusual as most in Johannesburg and Pretoria aren't due to power cuts :-(. Whilst deep in thought at this wondrous occurrence, a roadside entrepreneur, for want of a better word ,caught my eye. We all know these moppets,you can buy anything short of the kitchen sink from them. I once heard somebody mention that his reason for thinking South Africa was great was the fact that you can do your monthly grocery shop at a traffic light,lol.He wasn't too far off the mark with that observation , anyway I digress. This bright spark had noticed that one of the cars ahead of me was missing a hubcap on the right front wheel. He proceeded to nick the rear hubcap of the same vehicle and tried to flog it to the driver as a replacement for the missing one. This dude had no idea what was happening and politely told him to F... off!! At this point a fair bit of hooting ensued as the traffic light had changed from red to green and he sped off. The "Entrepreneur" shrugged his shoulders and chucked said hubcap into some bushes at the side of the road. It traveled like a frisbee for a bit of the way and then kicked up some dust as it wedged itself in some branches .How is that for a bit of entrepreneurial thinking .Driverdude if you read this - you didn't lose that hubcap in a pothole. It was stolen off your car whilst you were in it !!!!

How did I come to be at this intersection you might ask well that will be a story for my next post.;-)

Keep well - until we meet again.

Cheers
