Really? ..... WTF?

Pulled up near goods in at Asda Avonmouth, 3 hours late (for a change), spends 20 mins negotiating how they really should take their stuff as they ordered it and it does actually have a 2 year shelf life, so 3 hours isn’t a lot in the grand scheme of things. Anyway, my winning charm and ready smile saved the day, but imagine my surprise to discover this below when I got back to the motor!

No sign of the missing mirror or arm, nobody saw anything and "apparently’ their cctv wasn’t covering where I was parked!

Now sat outside City Commercials who can’t get another arm until tomorrow, or maybe as late as Friday!

They surely have a record of who was using the bay next to you.

Don’t Nobby keep spares? Can’t they send one of their own fitters?

Wasn’t on a bay mate, parked on lorry park. My depot is 150 miles away and I imagine they keep mirrors, but not the whole assembly.

An odd coincidence, but a Stobart has just taken my mirrors off at Asda Washington

Saw a truck with his passenger side mirror arm broken off like that driving through the tight roads of the Forest Of Dean yesterday. Bugger that for a laugh, I’d not drive without it.

Has anyone noticed that this forum gets sillier as the week goes on? Monday morning, and everyone is sensible and talking about investments and pensions, but by Friday we’re all cab happy and acting like schoolboys
