lifetime guarantee

We disagreed on the new car battery. I personally didn't see the point in paying extra given that I can't imagine the car lasting us beyond the year let alone beyond a 3 year guarantee for a lifetime one. But the main result is we now once more have a car that starts. Green flag have heard a lot from me this weekend. It was a big responsibility driving it back knowing that the battery wasn't retaining any power at all, so if I stalled it on a country ditch, it was not going to start again. A somewhat less film worthy version of "Speed". It meant we altered our plans from going to grange over sands to drop the kids, and instead ended up at Kwik fit. Much less picturesque and no toffee pudding. We shall have to reschedule that for another day.
Home now, with the washing and jungle to deal with. This is my first internetting of the day, and we didn't even have the radio on in the car. I will upload those pics soon, just going to work a bit on this before it rains
