We set off out of Birmingham bound for Cannock, about 20 miles up the road and as we drove along the M6 I noticed that the van was out of diesel! We tip-toed up the motorway to the M54 junction and got off at the first exit. We found a petrol station a mile or so along the road to Cannock and got some diesel into the tank before it finally ran out.
Our satnav then took us over the M6 (?) and into Cannock. Did it anticipate our needing diesel?
The theatre in Cannock is next to the shopping centre. Up the ramp to the loading bay and a level floor on to the stage. It was a good show with a good turn out.No coffee though.
Once we unloaded and after a stop outside the chippy we met up at the filling station and filled the van to the brim before heading back to Birmingham. The M6 junction was closed so we crawled back to the M54 junction 1 and then it was my turn to find our way through Birmingham to the hotel. We arrived in time to have a drink in the hotel bar. I was feeling tired by then so turned in.
Mike, Willie, Lee and Richard stayed up playing pool until the very early hours.
Bad move.
