    The mental energy is the worst.

    It’s horrendous after all the work you had done on the same car failrly recently - you were without a car for a good while then too. They need taking off the motability  scheme if they leave people needing transport in such dire straits 😡😡
    Dont think about what might have happened - think how it didn’t and you are safe 👍
    Yes, to both.

    Oh crikey Beanie. It must be bad if you weren't even allowed to drive it home. I agree, the mental energy for dealing with things like this is hard. Nobody seems to accept responsibility for anything these days everything becomes a battle. I hope it gets sorted out for you asap. x

    Eeek that's worrying Beanie, glad you are ok.  Surely that's a lot of issues for something that must have been done last year and can't rack up mileage in lockdown?  I hope something can be sorted soon - and is something you feel properly safe in. 
    The work was only completed 3 months ago.
    I said from day 1 when I got the car back that it was not right.
    That's appalling.  Glad you are escalating it.

    Is you scooter working Beanie? I know it's no good for long journeys but am I right in thinking you also had a problem with batteries for it a few weeks ago? x

    Help needed.
    An old Elvis Costello song.
    Not one of his better known ones.
    Quite short & sharp & haunting.
    Any ideas anyone?
