 Completely out of the blue, my ex boss who is also a good friend, rang me and asked if he could borrow our caravan as his wife isn't too well and could do with a break.  No problem I said, he's been driving hgv's for over 30 years so I know it's in good hands. I went to collect the van from storage and the morons from the county council had been spraying tar on the road and covering it in chippings. Not only did the van get covered in tar ( even at 15mph ) , the clowns coming the other way managed to throw chippings up and cracked the car windsreen.

 It gets worse........child from hell who insists on asking my kids to go out and play came down the drive, parks bike against caravan and puts a dent about the size of a golf ball on sidewall.  So, have spent an entire day with bug and tar remover cleaning the whole van, then, removed reflectors and rearranged them to cover the ding.

 Was well happy with my days work so rang ex boss to come and collect the van.

 The worst bit now...... Whilst taking the van off the drive, my ex boss and now ex friend caught the gate post with the van .

  Who says doing a good turn reaps rewards.  Anyone know of a good panel repairer in the north of the country ???

Now thats what I call a tough old day

I think karma has gone tits up if this is what you get for doing a good deed :(

OMG, day from hell.  I bet your boss/friend fealt pretty upset with this.

Not sure what to say apart from, at least you've had all three now.

Hopefully should be it for the year.

Pretty awful tale of woe but is it really necessary to describe employees of the Local Authority, undertaking their statutory duty of maintaining the highways, as "morons" ?
