The tyranny of black

 This post is not a joke. A few years ago a neighbour had 3 black cars. I used to see them all parked up regular as the house boarderd our land. When they moved, the new owners also accumulated   3 black cars. I used to raise my eyebrows at this fact, and I had an uneasy instinct that this was not just a coincidence.
  Soon I myself had a black car, and lo and behold this week another 2 have joined it in a row in our yard, and this has been a variety of owners cars too that completed the three some. OK, so you think I'm projecting or under stress ?
  On  stopping at a local shop while gathering a few provisions on the way to Cornwall what pulled up along side me to park ? Why a black car with the reg 666. That happens to me a lot, the treble 7 and 6 thing, so no real effect other than a sigh really, but what followed on the return journey home on the motorway was more alarming....
  I noticed that at several times we became part of  a gathering of 3 to 6 black cars . Once when this happened a car immediatly proceeding the gathering of black ones had the reg plate DAVE . It seemed almost like a pointer exclaiming to me that, yes I was correct in my theory of the black attracting black. There comes a point when shouting coincidence sounds lame...
