Paying Khan the Khunta £27.50 to drive in his shithole with just about every road having roadworks or other restrictions on it.

Still, was still cheaper, faster and less stressful than using the Chiltern Slug to get there.

Sky digital. 1.5 hours on the phone over two calls. Still not sorted, they are baffled. The system is running them, rather than the other way around.

They can see what's wrong, but they're not sure why, and they have no idea how to put it right. Passed to the dreaded 'back room', I might hear something next week.
Don't get me wrong, the staff in UK centres are excellent. It's just finding a way to get to them. The Asian call centre staff only have three rules:
1) Try to sound interested
2) Fob the customer off with bullshit
3) Before the customer hangs up, try to sell them something.

In my case, working up the road from a Suez "waste transfer site" does it, with every pikey in town driving past shedding things off the side of an overweight Transit Tipper with a bit of OSB ratchet strapped each side so they can overload it even more.  >:(

I suspect my puncture rate will improve when HS2 is finished cancelled.  Not only are they dropping shit everywhere, but diverting main A roads down single track lanes where you are always having to drive in the hedges and verges to allow lorries coming the other way to pass.

Ah, just had phone call. Not to say the tyre has been fixed and its ready to collect.  But that the tyre is fine, but the wheel is shafted.

So need to grab it and take it to the wheel place, who I'm now on first name terms with...
