Went to a call in Whitworth last week, it is at the very extreme of the area I do to the north ( getting to close to Goatboy territory for comfort) 😀
I arrived at 7.30am and after changing the brushes on a Bosch machine discovered that the motor had blown. I left at 8.05am and it took me almost an hour to travel 8 miles to my next call back towards Oldham due to the traffic.
I had to return this morning to fit a new motor so decided to go a little earlier. I set my radio alarm for just before 6.30am and when it went off I jumped out of bed, quick wash & brush up, drink and I was on my way. Called at the paper shop to pick up my usual Daily Telegraph and was a little surprised to find that it was closed, no worry I’ll pick it up my may way home. I drive on for about a mile and then glance at the clock on the dashboard. it says 4.42 am. 😯 :eeek: :clown: . I must have accidentally advanced the radio alarm by two hours when I set it the night before. What a Wally 😆
