not much to spill, other than the farce that ensued about getting me home and having to jump in with you coz they couldnt sort it properly, they just rang lennie thismorning and said "we're here" rather than giving any sort of warning/notice which we made it clear they HAD to do.

len, how can it not be the bottom end? i could hear the noise of the clattering over the sound of your voice on the phone never heard nothing like that before

Must have been a different driver, as mine phoned Harvey at lunch time and said he would be there at around 5.30 on the day in question .

However, I did get a phone call from the German hire company yesterday saying they couldn't find the car .

I had the same thing - did u take ur hire car all the way to the UK Mike?

I left mine at the ferry in Rotterdam. We were all still wasted from the Am Dam trip and just gave the random guy at the P&O desk the keys and said some hire car lads will be in contact for their car....

Days later they were still searching for the car (even though I had told them where it was) and then they reported them stolen....

We had to do the same a couple of years back.

FYI Mike, you only had to ask if you wanted a lift for any leg of the journey.

Would have thought you would have offered for at least the UK leg considering you drove almost past my hose . However, Charlie collected me from the airport where I had to leave the car - in moments like these, you know who you real friends are .

I would have driven you all the way from the ring to your hose if you asked.... honestly. Well I would have put you in the boot, for fear of ridicule from my real friends...

Fook off, you KNOW you only had to ask, infact I was expecting you to but when we came to check you were 'sorted' when we first knew of your problem, you had already arranged a hire car, hence didn't mention it.

Why to your hose any way? And where is your hose located? In the garden?
Surely to your house would have been more convenient
