Well the car's back and looks as good as new and my pocket is much lighter. Those nice men at UK Car Body did an excellent job.
After the car was returned this afternoon, I had to drive to collect my grand daughter who lives about 28 miles away. Although I left home about 3:20pm it was the start of the rush hour and also school out time. On a Friday afternoon there seems to be a mad rush to leave Bristol and all the roads become choked up very quickly. Everywhere becomes a 'rat run' and traffic soon comes to a standstill. There are quite a lot of bus lanes in operation and these can also be used by taxis and motorcycles and the a***h***s who think they're above the law and better than everyone else. They use the bus lanes and then have the audacity to cut in right in front of you in just the same way that they switch lanes without signalling and expect everyone to stop and give way to them. Can someone tell me why the majority of the culprits are usually young males under 35 or the middle aged owners of 'Chelsea tractors'?
The road system in Bristol is notoriously bad but I wish the police would show a presence in the bus lanes out of Bristol from time to time. Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I even saw a patrol car.
The best laugh I had today though was the gang of builders that have been doing some work on the end wall of the house. When they had finished they packed all their equipment in the back of this rather large white van and the van wouldn't start so they had to push it. The sight of four large blokes, all with varying degrees of the 'builders' bum' syndrome and very red faces will give me nightmares for weeks to come.
I've got my 12 year old grand daughter to show me how to put my photo on this so you can have nightmares!
Don't hold back mother, say what you really mean!!!! And I cannot believe you are admitting to looking at builders bums!
