...like 'off-road parenting': through a ditch that is so deep that it appears to be night, in a vehicle with no suspension, where the brakes have failed, the steering is not working, the roof leaks... All the time those on the road above can be heard to be commenting on how easy and enjoyable their ride is and how they are looking forward to arriving at their destination... Meanwhile the AA man I have called out has merely offered an instruction manual for a vehicle that bears no resemblance to mine and he refuses to join me in my vehicle to find out what the problems really are... Oh, and I have just spotted a steep drop ahead, will we survive it? Is the vehicle strong enough? As I said, there's no brakes, so here we go.....
Thanks xanthe from AUK message boards for that great and very real description!
