It has always happened on a work day to me... It's as if cars know when to cause maximum inconvenience! Did you get your funny marks in your back seat sorted btw?
Cheers folks for replies, passport up for renewal so that's part of it - going to change it from my mum to my sister.
Ah Bobby you would have been welcome but it's Betamax rather than VHS!
Nah it didn't work, ive still got the twitch in my left eye I've had for a few days now (which I think is due to being a bit stressed/run down). Was worth a shot tho!
