If you are thinking of buying a Peugeot you obviously don’t watch Top Gear and you haven’t read this.

Crash, Smash, Dash

I picked up my car tax today and found there was a basura bill from 2008 which I hadn’t received and hadn’t paid. Not a good start. Then as I went to pay for the car park a car passed me, turned the corner and crashed into a parked car.

I stood there waiting for him to stop, he paused and was clearly about to drive off, so I thought I’ll pretend its my car and go up to him. The plan was to get the registration details so that I could leave them under the windscreen wipers of the smashed car.

An elderly man was driving the car and he began to show me his driving documents. Never, touch wood having been involved in any car accident I really didn’t know what to do and began to feel like an actress playing the part of a policeman. He seemed to want my document, um, not my car…..He then had to move out of the way to make room for a van and as he parked he hit the pillar in the car park and then the wall. His bonnet sprung open a crumpled mess, clearly he was either on meds or drunk.

So I did a dash……

Shall I laugh or cry – Hertz

I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry with Hertz. I’m trying to organise a car rental. Firstly it offers me online, 25% off because I’m booking more than 60 days in advance. I go through all the form filling online, to be told that I don’t meet the criteria. I’m not sure what that criteria is but I think it involves having a speech impediment. I have called the phone number and spoken to a voice regognition piece of rubbish, I mean software.

“Which town or city are you wishing to contact?”

“Birmingham Airport.”

“You have selected, London city airport. Pause. I’m sorry, Pause….”

Basically the software isn’t working, there are huge pauses and it doesn’t understand anything I’m saying. Tried to go back to the website for support and it suddenly sprung into Spanish.

Think I may just swim to the UK instead.
