  • No I didn't know that

    I can't do much now Thieves will not be able to move it but I have left loads in the boot

    I will beg my bro to take me up there pronto and get all my stuff

    Thanks for that tip

    If the car has broken down in a Tesco car park they have an agreement with the RAC (It might be the AA) where they will assist you free of charge

    They are shut now anyway

    This is too mad

    Just give AA a `phone tonight or whenever you want car moved . They`ll sign you up and tow your car to a garage probably within an hour or so . I don`t think they`ll even charge you a surcharge , they certainly didn`t charge me any more when I phoned them last year in exactly the same situation as you find yourself in
    I wouldn`t risk leaving it in Tesco car park especially as there is no need
    Let the AA do your dirty work as that`s what you`ll be paying them for
    HTH
    I`m now officially too old to die young
  • There is a surcharge for TheAA joining straight away for service.
    I hate migraines.

    Why not get your Brother to give you a tow home? Then you can empty the boot.
    RIP TJ. You my be gone, but never forgotten. Always in our hearts xxx
    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
    You are his life, his love, his leader.
    He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
    You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
