Probably why you often see the number plate of the recovered vehicle with tape over it while it's sat on the recovery truck.
She certainly said some of the right things, but what did she actually do ?
By the time you've messed around trying to patch the old one back together, you may as well throw a new one on.Just waiting for a reply from some of the localish breakers. Just in case. But looks like many of them have already sold the liners....
Might also be worth getting new fitting hardware for it given your propensity to break things
Fixings will be replaced with stainless where possible. Can't find stainless chimney nuts, so having to use zinc plated ones.
What's the old saying about better to have someone in the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in?
How does Cameron get the job when he isn't even a sitting MP?
Saw the last surviving soldier on TV this morning he is 105 years old still exercises with weights & walks for 1 hour every afternoon, once he's gone you know what's going to happen, there will be no need for poppies anymore as it will be found offensive by the growing number of bastards that are being allowed to take over our country & our customs. I'm so very angry and have never felt like this before in my life.
I walked past the local school this afternoon at kicking out time and none of the kids I saw were wearing poppies.
Unless, God forbid, there is another major war where tens of thousands are killed in action, I think it is a tradition that will slowly and sadly die out as the Second World War fades from living memory.
The ceremonies on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday will continue no doubt, but generally I don't think people will be interested. :'(
Don't expect a single recovery of more than a couple of hundred miles. There are excellent reasons, both for you and the workers, why this is the case.
One of my kit car mates broke down in Glencoe once. IIRC, he was with the RAC who sent a local company out. They loaded his car up and drove back to his home in Egham in one hit whereby he gave the driver a cup of tea and he headed back off up to Scotland!
The bigger, older service providers that everyone has heard of do still care about their reputations, and at least try to give good service.The RAC clearly don't. Last time it took them 7hrs to turn up to tell me what I needed to know, then left me on the side of a dark road for 6 hours without a car, and would happily of left me there all night.
Hence currently with the AA. But the cost has risen from under £90 (joint personal cover) to well over £150. Which is getting a bit silly.

I'm tempted but who do they use?
Local companies
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
Been with Autoaid for years and found them pretty good when Ive needed them. Seen some recommendations recently for Autonational and 2gether who I had never heard of before.
