As mentioned I had a telephone call informing me that my dentures were once again ready.
Well I got the car out and started to drive to the town which is around 8 miles away. I noticed a mark on my windscreen, at first I thought it was water but when I looked again a few seconds later it seemed to me that it was a little longer and looked very much like a crack, not a jagged crack but a crack that you would say was made with a knife. Well I got to the Dental Surgery picked up my dentures and headed home. It was certainly getting larger it was now not in a straight line but was going at a sort of angle.
As soon as I got home, I found out where to ring, what a waste of time really. They are so friendly and polite but direct you to a windscreen repair specialist. I did explain what had happened and was told that the crack would indeed grow longer, the woman then suggested that I take it to one of their depots for examination to see if it was a manufacture fault. I told her that I was certain it was but there was no way I was going to travel the best part of 35 miles to their nearest depot. She then suggested that I take it to the nearest Vauxhall dealership which I did. I went there and of course wanted to know why I had not bought the car from them. I told them that even today, they would not have this car in and I had this car on order since October last year. This good looking young lass said to me that she was going to photograph the crack. Producing a digital camera struggled for a while and told me that it wouldn't let her take a photo. I suggested that she check to see that the batteries were not flat. They were, so after another few minutes managed to get some replacement batteries and went to take a photo. She asked me if I had a piece of paper to cover the interior of the windscreen where the damage was, I did this and she took a photo. She told me that it was going to be sent heaven alone knows where for it to be examined. I am definitely not holding my breath.
When I returned home the woman from the Windscreen Repair Company asked me how I had got on. I told her everything and she told me that as I had given her my Car registration, it was on file and all I had to do was mention my number and up would pop all the relevant details.
Today, as expected I have heard nothing from the local garage. It is only about 4 miles away from me so on Monday morning I will see if anything has happened. I doubt it.
To be honest, a £75 cost for windscreen replacement is nothing at all after watching the horrific scenes in Japan following the wost ever earthquake there. The tsunami was frightening, I guess the death toll will be in the thousands. It is these things that really bring us back to reality and realise just how fortunate we are. More soon.
