Tuesday 30th December
20:04
Leave my brothers house, heading home (about 13Km away). Have things to do on the way, so I check the time on my mobile hoping that the car clock is wrong, it isn't.
20:07 (approx')
Fill car with petrol.
20:11
Leave house I'm renovating after feeding the cats there. Mention to my son who is with me that we have nineteen minutes to make it home in time for a TV show(Plenty of time really). Light a smoke....
20:21
My son says ten minutes have passed. Without looking at the time I tell him that can't be right as we've only travelled about three kilometres. Both clocks confirm the time. I had only had 3 or 4 puffs on my smoke during this time which should have burnt out in almost ten minutes but it still looked just lit! Watched the clocks all the way home from this point which took another seven minutes in which we travelled at least three times the distance supposedly covered in the previous ten minutes to 20:21.
I timed the distance the following day which confirmed it should've only taken 3-4 minutes. Which means I lost about SIX minutes. Driving at an average speed of 70Km/hr over a distance of 3Km does not take 10 minutes. If it wasn't for the 2 clocks &/or my sons comment we probably would'nt have noticed. WTF could have happened???
Edit: Fixed typo's
