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!

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...

The soundtrack of my life

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
