Just back from a 2 week holiday in France. The ferry ramp caused vibrations that caused an intermittent electrical fault in no 3 sparkplug and I had to call for international roadside assistance.
The French only speaking car transporter driver took my car and I to a garage in the middle of nowhere and left me there telling me my next contact would be arrive soon. It was very Secret Army/'Ello 'Ello.
Being Saturday and expecting to need parts delivered I was sent to a safehouse and needed to pack lightweight camping gear to take from the car.
I was sent to camping le Pin Parasol at the expense of green Flag.

Of course being France shorts are banned in their pools and packing fast I'd left all my speedos in the car except for a swim thong. Not wishing to be thrown out of a luxury campsite I had to buy grey square cuts from the camp shop for E10. I swam in the square cuts a couple of times on the Sunday, and sunbathed in them most of Monday while waiting for the phone to ring about my car. Am safely home now.
