Saved by The AA

I think my six year old son is watching too much telly. Getting home last night, I told him that I had to be rescued by The AA from the hard shoulder of the motorway. Explained how good they were – courteous helpful operator, "Don't worry, we'll get someone to you within sixty minutes", text message to confirm, hour and a half wait (natch), very nice man turns up, does the job and I'm on the road again. Six year old Mini-me looks straight at me and says "You should have used Green Flag, Daddy, they come within 30 minutes, AND they fix 84% of all cars". Didn't know that Green Flag advertise during Sponge Bob, or maybe Mini-Me actually does just remember everything. Anyway, I think I'll stick with The AA – who along with death and taxes are something you know you can rely on.
