Cars"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

I had a similar much wasted time with the AA.I realised that those insurers / breakdown people who use smaller local recovery firms rather then their own fleet are the best.
I came out of work and simply had a flat battery. I had a battery booster thing but it didn't have enough to turn over my monster engine.
So phoned Seat breakdown, who in turn use the AA. Waited and waited, finally got a call off a guy on his way to me. Gave him instructions where I was. "Just off the main A633 road, huge business park. You cant miss it". Two hours later.. nothing, where is he? I phoned again, and they're like. Oh im very sorry he couldt find you so closed the job. We'll send someone else now and put you on priority.
I wouldn't mind. I didn't need a recovery truck. I knew what the problem was, I told them that. It was just a flat battery. Finally someone else came and he had travelled 35 miles to get to me as well.
I got £30 goodwill gesture from the AA for winging :)
