Spare us £125, guv’nor?
Balls.
Balls, balls, balls, balls, balls!
Sorry for the rant, but I’m a little peeved - on my way home from work yesterday, I ran over a piece of glass in the road. This piece of glass went through my relatively new back tyre and removed the air from it with ruthless efficiency, prompting me to have to wait 80 minutes for a recovery truck (with hearty thanks to the lovely people at Carole Nash Insurance for their excellent cover which includes full European breakdown cover).
After a bit of wrestling this morning I dropped the wheel out and made some calls - £106 plus VAT plus balancing and tyre disposal came the reply, and it won’t be here until tomorrow. Oh well, at least it will be up and running for the BMF show this weekend… although I’ll have to take it easy on the A1 up to Peterborough as I’ll be running in new rubber. Balls!
So there you go - first rant for a while. I’ll be going now…
