I wonder if she thought someone would nick it if she left the keys in the ignition... and that bottle of water, I mean honestly.

"My husband asked me if I could fetch the water from the car.....I think I am going need more bottles..."

or

"Noreens new Mega-shades were so good, that even a massive white boat in direct sunlight couldn't penetrate the lenses".

or

"Noreen wondered if this is what they meant when they said women should stay in the kitchen..."

or

"Noreen took her husband literally when he asked her to park as near to the boat as she could......"

Just a few to get you started........

Cheers,
Dan.

Before using tyres as cheap boat fenders it is preferable to remove them from the vehicle!!!!!!!

Here's some more:

"Never mind the car dear.....at least I saved the evian".

or

"I thought it looked a bit small for a ferry...."

or

"Noreen wondered why she hadn't been warned about the new 'perpendicular parking' aspect of the driving test..."

or

"A satisfied grin spread across Noreens face as she imagined her husbands face when he set eyes on his new off roader"

or

"Noreen looked around blankly wondering if it was perhaps time to clean her glasses...."

Later,
Dan.
