Is a friend in need a pain in the.....

Yaris?

I got to sleep at about 0330hrs this morning after a restless few hours......enjoying the warmth of my bed I dreamt that my phone was ringing.

Then I realised it wasn't a dream so jumped up to answer it.
"Hi Terry, it's Paul"
"Urghhhh" was my reply.
"My car won't start"
"Urghhhh"
"Is there any chance of a lift to work"
"Urghhhh yes, where are you working?"
"Broughton Airbus"
"BROUGHTON"?
"BROUGHTON"?
"What time is it"?
"It's 0630"
"WHAT"
So off I go.....110 mile round trip.

I'm now enjoying a full English breakfast.

A problem shared is a problem doubled.
Hey Ho.

I don't think so. If you can help a friend out then why not. I choose my friends carefully x

Not a pain in the **** so long as you can rely on them to do the same one day.

So, now you know what's wrong with other people's cars without any sort of symptom check?

No it isn't a pain, I am sure he would do the same for you!
BTW I don't seem to have your number and I need to put it in my phone......just in case the same thing happens to me.
