I waited for RAC as a lone female for 4 hrs! Is this acceptable?

I can't imagine that there is any politician I would want to stop if I was broken down at the side of the road, other than Tobias Ellwood.

Check out the abuse he gets on twitter 
Most of those people don't realise who he is or what he did.

I know nothing.  I don't have twitter.

he's the guy who helped to try to save the life of the policeman killed in the Westminster terror attack isn't he?

Years ago I remember going out one evening. We passed a woman who had broken down. We stopped and I fixed her car. She was happy and went on her way. My girlfriend wasn't happy because we were going out for a meal and I ended up with dirty hands and clothes. It seemed a normal thing to do at the time but I wouldn't do it now. I expect a woman would just lock the doors and windows and scream if someone approached. I suppose the difference is you didn't have a mobile phone in those days.

2 pensioners left in a layby on a duel carriageway for 5 and a half hours after 9 phone calls, being told twice they were coming within 20 mins, call out escalated to critical 3 times only to find when they eventually arrived that the recovery man was only notified 10 minutes ago!!!!   None of this is in dispute.  I wrote asking for compensation and the offer is that they would add 3 months free cover to my next renewal!   This is not acceptable as there is no way I'm going to renew with them every again.  Am I wrong to ask for a cash compensation and if so, how do I get it please?

I dunno. You could say that because women are more likely to be harassed or worse by creeps it’s right for them to get a priority response vs a man to whom little will happen if he waits longer. The outcome is a safe driver and to ensure that the woman needs a speedier response? 

In a truly equal society feminism isn’t needed but we aren’t there yet by a country mile.

Have you got any data to prove that women suffer more harassment when they break down?

Ask a woman, they get more harassment literally everywhere.

I am a lone, disabled (amongst others, I am unable to regulate my own body temperature) male and I have been waiting more than 4 hours today on the hottest day ever in the UK.

But I guess this is fine, because I'm not female.
