[limey]

So after 976 miles of driving with my Fanny in tow we got home at 10.30 last night, after dark. By far the most nerve wracking bit of the drive was reversing Fanny up onto our small, fenced on three sides, parking space without flattening the fence or Mr Limey, who got out to help.
The trouble is that Mr Limey is, I think, unable to judge distances* so his help is not helpful. He always tells me to stop at the moment of (gentle) impact when I'm reversing towards Fanny to hook up, for example. I've asked him to let me know earlier but so far without success. Also I've suggested he demonstrate how the gap between car and fanny is shrinking using his two hands moving together and that doesn’t work either. Frankly I find the reverse warning beeper more effective. But I don't want to hurt his feelings. Any suggestions as to how to manage this better are welcomed.

* This may ba a family failing as his sister declares this is why she doesn't drive. Or it may be any aspergers thing ....
