Today was spent waiting for my car to be recovered from my house to the garage in Perth. Got up, rang the AA, added home start to my membership and the plan from then on seemed straightforward enough. The recovery driver would be there within 90 minutes, he would take me and my shitty car to the garage. Not so.
The Driver turned up and asked how far away the garage was, "66 miles" i said, "Ahh slight problem, Because of a new legislation that came into force today i can only take you 62 miles from my base." What the F**k! How annoying and typical is that. The driver was really sound and rang up the AA to tell them that i needed a recovery truck, This would be with me in an hour.
So back in the house i went, made a cuppa and waited till 12.30 when the truck was supposed to arrive. Nothing. 1pm, still nothing, The AA rang to say the truck was stuck in traffic and would be there in 20 minutes. 10 minutes later the driver phones and says he is just leaving and will be there in 30mins. By now it is about 2 15pm and i'm thinking this is going to be a 2 hour drive with rush hour traffic, if he doesn't get here soon we are not going to get there in time to pick up my courtesy car.
Luckily he arrives about 2 45pm and we are on the road by just after 3pm. About 10 minutes into the journey we hit traffic, totally stationary , not even crawling. We are sat for about 20 minutes before the traffic clears. To cut an already far to long story a little shorter, we arrived on time and i picked up an awesome courtesy car. I love driving different cars. In short, most of Friday was wasted and i couldn't get on the internet to add to this thing, sorry.
Btw, he is 2nd from the right.
