Autoglass

Boy this makes me so mad!

Last Wednesday I woke to find one of the windows had been smashed in my car, I was not the only one, several cars had the same thing, nothing even attempted to be stolen.

I called the insurers and they put me onto Autoglass who eventually turned up at 3pm that day.

I was there when the guy tried to take the door off. After a few moments (less than a minute) he decided a quick tug should do the trick and it came off quite a bit as did one of the switched which totally shattered. He then tried to remove the other two switches with a screwdriver and broke both of them. He followed this by half an hour or so of trying to bodge them back together again before eventually giving up and telling me he'd get it sorted the following day. I asked him to keep me informed as I had things to do that I could not start doing if he was due.

The next day, all day, nothing. On Friday I called head office, explained what had happened and by this time I had also discovered that my reversing lights, parking sensors and heated rear window also didn't work. I told her all this. Called the local office in the afternoon and they said the 'switch' would not be in until today (Saturday) (probably)

She called me this morning, the switch was there but I would have to go there for 45 minutes whilst they repaired it. I was there over 2 hours. It was the wrong switch, the two other broken switches were not even ordered, they have no idea how to repair the other items and to top it they have put a dent in my door!

Yes, I have written a letter of complaint to head office and their manager will get a full report on Monday, I saw to it that one was attached to the file when I was there!

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
