Well, I was so looking forward to a relaxing afternoon herf with Mr Moore.
I'd finished work early,I was 5 mins away from a lovely country pub where a fellow BOTL was waiting with refreshments.
Then while stationary on the A4097 indicating to turn right at a junction, everything suddenly went black and a very large bang ensued, next thing I know I'm being pushed down the road by a very large lorry. I limped the car to the side of the road, fortunatley there was a little side lane next to me.
A call to Mr M later (who originally thought it was a wind up.) who quickly arrived on the scene to survey the damage. A calming cigar ensued which I must say saved the day for me.
It doesnt end there.
After phoning the RAC who then put me as a priorit,y a recovery vehicle came to what I thought was to take me home and the car to a garage near my home. This recovery vehicle didnt tell me that it was only taking me back to their depot there would not be any garages open by the time I got home. The car was also not safe to store on my drive due to leaking petrol. Car Insurers said I would have to get a taxi back home and the RAC did their best to talk the recovery people into taking me. Drive Assist would not send a car for me until I had been seen by a doctor. By this time I was stuck at the recovery centre not knowing where I was or how I was going to get home.
Then the recovery centre said they were closing soon and would have to leave.
Stuck out on the street in a industrial estate I didnt even know where I was I phone RAC again who gave me a taxi number in tamworth. Luckily they agreed to take me home at the cost of ?150.
Although an ambulance checked me out at the recovery centre, a trip to the docs is needed tomorrow as I think it's all catching up now I'm home and the aches and pains are comming through now the adrenalin has gone.
Big Big thanks to Mr Moore for his speedy arrival on the scene. I would have been deeper in shock without his calming tones.
We will share a cigar soon my friend.
At least I got one cigar in as you can see below.
