I want to drive my car

Today Mr Reece went for a service.

Services always worry us. We have never driven cars which were much cop.

Mr Reece; as opposed to Gordon the Golf, or Brian the Focus (he was blue), or Rodney the Polo (he was red); was bought from a reputable garage and came with SERVICE and WARRANTY! Wowser. Which of course entitled him to a full name.

I woke up really early because I was scared I would miss my arrival time.

I drove in dropped car off and sniggered when he said ‘back with you by lunchtime’.

I knew it wouldn’t. Tyres are a bit baldy ... brakes a bit iffy.

Himself and I had decided around £700 would probably fix it .

How delighted were we when the call was £170. Neither of us have any idea about cars and fixing. And it was far nearer 1740. Than lunchtime ha ha ha.
