Last night on the way back from Amy MacDonald and Scott Ashley concert my tyre blew out on the fast lane of the M6. I managed to control the swerve and get over to the hard shoulder. I got straight onto the AA. The guy from the AA call centre was very slow and not very helpful.Just what you need lol he even told me that my car registration didnt match the make of my car! I think he had a swollen typing finger. lol He said someone would be out to me before 12.30!! I phoned at 11.20. In the meantime traffic officers stopped and asked if I was ok. Told me I should get out of the car via the passenger seat and stand on the other side of the barrier. This was quite a struggle as I have bucket seats and to try and get out of them my side is difficult never mind the passenger side. They told me as they drove off that I needed to keep watching the traffic and if a car was coming towards me run? lol good advice!! They took my mobile number and said they would phone me at 12.30 if I hadn't been collected. It was pitch black other than the light of the moon and really freezing cold!! I was greatly in need of a wee so I am afraid I had to go..in the undergrowth...down a ditch...in the dark....unfortunately for me i sat on a bed of nettles and I now have about 10 stings on my bottom! lol By the time the AA arrived it was nearly 12.30 and they had sent a lady so all she could do was recover the vehicle and take me to Sandbach Services. At Sandbach Services after a while of sitting in the vehicle with her, she was called to another job. As she left she told me another AA man would be out before he went home but he might not take the job....He obviously didnt!! lol At 1.25 The Mansfield Group turned up...my boot was full of wrapping paper and clothes lol..even walking boots...lol...but we managed to get the spare out and change the wheel. The downside is my wheel wouldnt go back in the boot of my lil TT so the very nice man from the Mansfield Group took it with him!! I have no idea how I am going to collect it...or if I will even see it again!!
