It has been announced that a CATCOUK project has been delayed due to some technical errors. After three years, Ernie the Escort has finally refused to start. It is thought that a recent trip to Grenoble may have something to do with the electrical failure.
Production was suspended today on the completion of CATCOUK's new video, 'Wish You Were Here (instead of me)'. After returning from a 1400 mile round trip to Grenoble, one of the main stars, Ernie the Escort developed some ignition difficulties. The 22 year old Ford GL Estate has been owned by Mr Andy Clarke for just over three years, and has never let him down yet.
Unconfirmed reports are saying that the little estate car may finally have died completely. Eye-witnesses say that a large spark was seen arking across the engine bay near the battery, during an attempt to start the motor. Since that incident, nothing has been seen from the car, and no signs of any of the electrics working have been observed. Sources close to Mr. Clarke are calling this a complete failure of the primary and secondary electrical systems, and some are saying that this is the darkest day in CATCOUK history.
The issue has been further complicated, by the level of breakdown cover held by Mr Clarke not covering home starts and recovery. Apparently, Mr. Clarke has been heard to say that this problem is only solveable by the car's long-term garage W. Jones of Bognor, a full 12 miles away. We have attempted to get a quote from Mr. Clarke, and all we have received back is 'Oh Cock.'
In an official statement from CATCOUK, readers have been asked to pray to whatever God or higher being they believe in (yes Todd Warner, Nick Draper, and Chuck Norris do count), and just hope that this situation can be overcome.

Well Well Well! I have prayed sincerly to Dr Draper, and I am eagerly awaiting news of his wellbeing.
I'm sorry that Ernie is unwell, but I am sure he will pull through, I feel honoured to of been involved in his last ever cross country adventure xx
Oh dear... I've forgotten what I was going to say now.... blind rage caused by the above comment saying "to of" instead of "to have".... This world is going bad.... stupid words. (I just had a huge rant at everyone around me about it too lol)
Oh yes... I hope Ernie gets better soon too :)
