Of course, and drive a car  too >>

  

 the first lorry driver  we employed  when my company started only had sight in one eye. His general  driving was OK but he had trouble judging the widthof the  vehicle.

 At that time we operated from a small yard with a  narrow driveway for an entrance which had brick walls on both sides. Mother used  to hang her washing out to dry down one wall and quite often this driver would  leave the yard trailing a string of washing which he had managed to pick up on  the tailboard. This was a severe blow to the budget.

 You must understand that we were very poor at the  time. Father was poor, Mother was poor. The butler was poor...

   I don't have much trouble judging the    width of a vehicle, but the fore and aft gives me fits.     I don't make very good landings, but I think that has more to do with    my brain than with my eye.

   ............and I'll bet the butler's    housekeeper didn't have much money either!
