“A bread bag holds four pints of water. A brand new Cavalier holds all four of them at once.”
In 1994, a plastic bread bag makes the perfect water bomb, holding almost four pints. From an upstairs window, we spot the perfect target: a neighbour's shiny new Vauxhall Cavalier, parked directly below. The bag feels heavy in my hands as I lean out and take aim…
“I let go of the bag, and for a second... it just hung in the air.”
From the back cover
An upstairs window, a bag full of water and a summer afternoon. It's the perfect recipe for a bit of mischief.
Down below, a neighbour is proudly polishing his brand-new car. He hasn't spotted the boys watching from above, or the bulging Hovis bag they're about to drop.
Whatever happens next, the grown-ups will just blame the dodgy sunroof.
