Excellent service from the AA and VW Fleet Services today. Called VW at 10:06 with a nail in my tyre. Parked on my drive. Figured I’d be low priority. By 11:15, AA had been, plugged the hole and left. I’d spoken to VW and arranged for a new tyre to be fitted at home on Wednesday. Fantastic experience. #Motoring #TheAA #Cars #EV

Today, a Ford Transit Custom from the AA - or the Automobile Association as it was before it was demutualised in 1999, later to fall into the hands of private equity. The AA is one of the two main UK breakdown organisations and its vehicles have always had a yellow colour scheme. What’s new? Now they can fix your EV too. Spotted locally.

Why do we need to do this dance every fecking year...

The AA: "It's time for your renewal, everything is more expensive now, so we're going to charge you £380"

Me: "That's 5 times what Green Flag are charging."

The AA: "We can reduce it to £200."

Me: "But your website quotes £140."

The AA: "Ok, we'll reduce it to £140."

Me: "But still nowhere near your competitors' prices"

The AA: "No"

Fuck you very much to #theAA who just sent spam app notifications.

I suspect that experiments in #Brizzle and #Yorkshire might cause problems for this newly discovered law of Bing/AA/Google Maps #physics that requires that any journey in England involve either #HS2 or #Luton.

I predict that our Higgs Boson equivalents will be #Leeds and a very hard to discover rule involving *nearly* going to #Swindon.

Then Mancunian JourneyCartoGraphics will come along and turn everything on its head, like.

I'm getting sick and tired of the dance one has to take when an insurance or service renews. Every year it is the same, get a new quote for the following year. This includes a massive markup (I call it profiteering). You have to ring up and negotiate a lower price. I've just done #theaa, and they went from £285 to £158 pounds. If I had missed the renewal date, I would have lost that. Daylight robbery as plenty of people don't bother, or do not like to phone or just miss the date. #nomorerenewals

In the world of things that companies will get away with when advertising watchdogs turn a blind eye, an old contender is back.

The AA, which once proclaimed itself the 4th emergency service, much to the annoyance of the actual 4th emergency service, in an advertisement that declares that it has a service for everything, has a road sign where the pointer towards Enormous Swirling Vortex …

… points in the *opposite* direction to #Swindon .

Here is a hint #TheAA ... This is not a safe distance to overtake....

Direct Debit was cancelled about 6 weeks ago.

A new one has suddenly appeared on the account and been debited by them.

They're currently ignoring the latest complaint I submitted after they tried to threaten us for a policy we never renewed.

Now they pull this shit.

Scum... utter fucking scum, thieving fucking wankers.
