Drugs and Old Cars

[coppice]

My late dad was a GP , practising from the early 50s until his retirement in 1978 . Doctors received a constant stream of junk mail , advertising the latest wonder drug . Thankfully, Dad neve prescribed Thalidomide but may well have prescribed Locorten - Vioform eardrops, persuaded by the plastic coaster seen below - 'NHS Price 9s 8d ' upon which my mug of tea often sits. Somewhere I may still have the full set , which date from the late Sixties .

So if you like Panhard Levassors and /or eardrops - here you are . Any medics still get interesting stuff like this ?

I thought you were on the same thread as one over on The Triumph Experience from the US. There, they have a long running thread about unusual things, left in the car by the DPO (Damned Previous Owner) A lot of it is cannnabis!

I once found a prescription for methadone on the back seat of my Scimitar. How it got there is a total mystery (we suspected a homeless person had bedded down in it for the night).

I took a Mercedes ML270CDI in as a part exchange and parked it in the field, awaiting the auction truck to pick it up. For reasons unknown he couldn't make it that week. When he did come he called me into the field: "You need to come and see this".

The inside windows were crawling with flies. We opened the doors and they all flew away, never to be seen again. But the carpets, seats, dash and headlining were all heaving with maggots. In the boot were two pheasant carcasses.

We ring the previous owner. "Oh yes, I left you a brace of pheasants as a thank you. Sorry, forgot to mention that".
