Broken car rant

[glittertigger]

My car engine died on the M40 on the way home this evening. I called the Highways Agency from the emergency phone and they called the RAC for me, then called back to say the RAC should be there in 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the RAC called to say they would be another half hour. They eventually turned up after an hour to tow me home. An hour of sitting on a cold verge by myself with passing truck drivers beeping at me. Just great. Thanks guys. And the Highways Agency called my mobile three hours after my original call to make sure I was OK and not still there on my own. What kind of timing is that? And don't they have cameras on the M40 anyway? Useless.

Before you ask, I've no idea what is wrong with the car - the RAC are supposed to be coming back tomorrow to tow it to a garage and hopefully they will work it out. My lovely boyfriend is letting me borrow his shiny new car to get me to work tomorrow.
