Probably why you often see the number plate of the recovered vehicle with tape over it while it's sat on the recovery truck.

did you?
Actually, joking aside, there were so many I couldn't find initially, that made it so intense, I started getting nosebleeds whilst driving if I didn't have the windows open. Took me ages to find all of them!

Bloody hell Lizzie ..... you have been through the mill.
Hope you are feeling much better soon .... as Steve says, just concentrate on getting yourself well & forget about your car.
My Dad had a 3 way by-pass a few years ago & he was up & about pretty quickly afterwards

I'm tempted but who do they use?
Local companies
Not for about 15 years! - South London, Kent, Surrey and most of Sussex are all done by a company based in Croydon. The south coast is covered by another from Brighton.
I've had a local recovery place turn up to me within the past 15 yrs

That doesn't sound great especially if the owner of the local repair facility is away on holiday or down the pub.
there'll be more than 1 local comapany

I'm with May Day ie the Caravan Club's deal with Green Flag.
I think I paid around £120 but it covers the caravan if that has a fault (Green Flag etc only recover your caravan when hitched up & the fault is with the tow vehicle) it's personal cover for both of us & we'd get a driver if I couldn't drive .... no way would SWMBO tow
