I had a little Vauxhall Nova all spruced up ready for sale in a garage next door so I kindly offered them the car to drive back to Hull and sort things out and to come on the Monday which was a bank holiday. They gave me their name and address and off they went.
They turned up on the Monday dinner time, 2 hours late, car covered in NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-, less fuel than when they were given it and gave me the keys said thanks and away they went.
£10 lees in fuel, £10 to have the car valeted at the local car wash and the risk of a speeding ticket coming in the post. 
I just think that if it was my sister or someone I knew that was in the mire someone would do the same to a stranger in need.
Trikey and Marinabrian have done me more than enough for no payment over the years so maybe Ive been repaid!  |
Well, I'm shocked. A young couple with a dog about to give birth, drive from Hull to Stratford a one way trip of over 3 and 3/4 hours (unless you mean Stratford-on-Avon in which case 2 and 3/4 hours) for a wedding and back leaving no-one to look after the dog (pregnant bitch close to giving birth) for between 7 and 9 hours at least?! That is serious animal neglect. All sorts of life threatening complications could have arisen for a domestic dog giving birth. Reporting to the RSPCA and police would have been apropriate. Tbh I think you're lucky that they bought your car back at all rather than park it up and post you the keys!
