TRIP OUT TO OTLEY NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

WELL TO ALL YOU READERS OF THIS BLOG TODAY IS SUNDAY THE 25th OF MARCH 2013 THE WEATHER AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DASH CAM FROM MY TRUSTY VEHICLE IS A LITTLE SNOWY, AT 15:30 I RECIEVED A CALL FROM TWO GENTLEMEN WITH THEIR TWO SONS ASKING ME TO ATTEND THEIR BMW 525 DIESEL CAR WHICH THEY HAD FILLED WITH 65 LITRES OF PETROL AND DRIVEN, I EXPLAINED IT COULD TAKE ME TWO HOURS TO DRIVE TO THEIR LOCATION AND BETWEEN US WE TRIED TO FIND SOMEONE MORE LOCAL TO KEEP DOWN THE COST AND TIME AFTER 45 MINS. IT WAS APPARENT THAT ALL YOU FAIR WEATHER DRAINERS WITH YOU FLASH PLASTIC BUSINESS CARDS AND HIGH TECH EQUIPMENT WOULD NOT TURN OUT SHAME ON YOU I SAY CLAIMING YOUR THE BEST PUT OFF BY A LITTLE SNOW AND COLD WIND IN ALL THE 42 YEARS I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS JOB I HAVE NEVER LET ANYTHING STOP ME FROM GETTING TO A JOB AFTER ALL THIS IS WHERE WE EARN OUR LIVING, AFTER A 2 HOUR HARD DRIVE OF OVER 100 MILES I ARRIVED IN OTLEY NOTTINGHAMSHIRE TO A KIND WELCOME AND SET TO DRAINING THE BMW AFTER 45 MINS. THE CUSTOMER SET OF FOR PERTH IN SCOTLAND SOME 5 HOURS DRIVE AND ARRIVED HOME SAFELY IN THE EARLY HOURS AS FOR MYSELF I DROVE HOME IN JUST OVER 2 HOURS TO A WELL EARNED LATE DINNER, WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS BAD ADD TO YOUR HIGH TECH GEAR A SHOVEL SOME ROCK SALT SNOW CHAINS AND A LITTLE BACKBONE AND REMEMBER THE CUSTOMER IS ALL THAT STANDS BETWEEN US AND POVERTY.
