Weekend drive
Called Victoria hire today. The very friendly & attractive long haired man who normally mans the reception recognised my voice.
"You're the one who live in Farthings?"
.."Ummm..yeah"
It's not really my address but that was the address I used to rent the car out for the first time back in 2002. At that time, we got a Toyota Avensis which is big enough to move my things from Sheffield to the south east.
"I thought I'd recognise your voice"...
Hmmm..must be my non-sultry non-sexy neither British nor American accent that jogged his memory. It must be one of his lines with his customers. But good for him, I am a sucker for good service and good rapport even if it costs a lil bit more. Am taking the Ford KA for two days. Haven't tried this one so it's going to be doubly fuun.
Nobody seems interested to go but Visitor. But she needs to return to base by 3pm on Sunday to meet a friend who has come all the way from Wales. So, that rules out going further north than Birmingham. I have been looking at the internet for places to visit. Am thinking of Uffington where the white horse lies (not sure whether it's the same horse during the reign of Peter the Great), the Roman bath at Bath, Cornwall, Cotswold...or perhaps we should just take the ferry to Calais. We'll see.
