Rac Breakdown Service....

[gness]

My car died today......on a country road....middle of nowhere on a sharp bend.
I let it roll down as far away from the bend as I safely could....and before I neared the next sharp bend.....
If I'm going to break down I'll do it between two close sharp bends.....in the winter and in the dark.......☺

This was at five o clock....I called the RAC......one hour they said.....a woman alone was their priority.....they said.....they did tell me to stand on a verge...there were no verges....just a skinny road and very high hedges....

Eighty minutes later I called again....they said they'd called my mobile to say that there would be a delay....they didn't.....but he was ten minutes away.....they said.....hmmmmm......

It was pitch dark...raining and my hazards were failing so I called a friend who came and put some hazards on for me....now there were two of us on this road......

I kept phoning the RAC and can't believe the guff and lies I got.....I'd rather they'd said it'll be three hours...I'd have known what I was in for....

I was there for two hours and fifty five minutes......my car is now on my drive and needs an alternator......according to the rescue chap who told me they had just had the job given to them twenty minutes before he arrived....about two and a half hours after I phoned the RAC......

My new shoes are ruined...my hair has curled.....so I'm having another hot toddy and a long bath......before I compose a letter to the RAC.....

This is the first time I've ever used a breakdown service and would appreciate recommendations for a good one please......Gx

We shall find out on Tuesday when it goes to my garage.....I do keep the battery in good condition and make sure I have regular whizzes up and down the bypass if I'm not doing a long journey for any length of time.....and it has two fairly good trips twice a week...........x

That's the problem, you've been whizzing when you should have been whooshing...
