Old Crocks at the Roy-Tho

March Madness

Metha, Preman, Weera, Soori, PH Wicks, Bass Suraweera, and the rest had organized the crock. A red Hillman California tourer. We were in the middle of the procession. We went pass the OLD SILK ROAD (College, Thunmulla, Havelock Rd, Vajira Rd, Galle Rd, Bamba, Kollupitiya, Polwatta Church, Bishops, Turret Rd, and finally, Eye Hospital Junction.)

Right opposite the present ODEL gate, the car tilted to the left. Believe me, we saw the front tyre rolling past the Piliyandala Bus Halt! Poor owner/ driver ran behind the tyre, and brought it back amidst hoots and catcalls of bystanders.

We took a taxi back to the Oval.
