Let me tell you how today's adventure brightened my morning. I had just finished my shopping and was rather loaded, the shopping trolley was full and I had bought a few extra bargains including a large pineapple from Tesco for 50p. As there wasn't enough room in the trolley for the pineapple I had it in one of their carriers and I put the handles over the handle of the trolley with the pineapple balanced on the top.
I carefully made my way into the shopping mall because I needed to go to Boots the chemist and their medicines counter is more easily accessed from the mall entrance. As I got around the corner into the main body of the mall there was a stand there for the RAC and several people stood around it. One very pleasant young lady asked me if I was a car driver and I replied that I was. She asked me a few more questions especially about the RAC and had I ever had need to use their services.
I have been a member for thirty years, I joined when I first started driving and have always been very impressed and pleased with them. Then I was asked if I would mind if they made a short recording of me recounting a time when I had a need to call them out and would I be prepared to recommend their services to others. Of course I didn't mind. I think it's for their website or something.
Anyway, it didn't really take very long and all the people there were very pleasant too. I had asked them to keep an eye on my shopping trolley and my bargain pineapple which they were happy to do.
After I had finished I did tell them that I was also available for television for a fee and was rather surprised when they said they would make a note of it! Then they gave me my shopping and also a 'goody bag' which I balanced on top of the pineapple and headed for Boots.
I now have a rather smart stainless steel thermos flask with RAC on the side!
Wow! You certainly do get around grandma! I'll have to look for you on BBC America before long. lol
