The annual Car MOT

I was most impressed when I received a call on my mobile at the end of October. It was the call centre for the garage that I usually MOT my car with. Now I normally forget all about the MOT, or at least try to, and then end up rushing around trying to book it in on the last possible day. So I was very happy to have this call and book up the car for tomorrow morning. All organised, over a month in advance and on a day that suited me... a Saturday.

This morning, Friday, at about 9:30, I received another call. This one was from the garage where I normally get my car MOT'd. The call was enquiring where my car was, seeing as it was booked in for an MOT today.

I must add that the garage were very understanding, no blame was levelled, and the car is booked in again for tomorrow. In fact half an hour earlier than was planned, so the day may not be carless after all. Now, if only it could pass.
