Outside the nightclub where I had my 18th birthday
Looe beach
Looe old bridge
For
my 18th birthday I holidayed in Looe at a caravan park never been back. Ros had never visited so booked a early stay in Polperro. We stayed in a
barn 4 miles outside of Polperro which at the time of booking we did not know it was so far out! Sunday took the ferry over to Fowey then did the food shopping for the week at Sainsburys at Bodmin, Okay getting into Bodmin but a nightmare to get out took me an hour to find a lane to get back onto main road. As we arrived at the barn on Saturday my hand brake warning light came on I just thought a faulty switch how wrong was I. On Sunday driving back to barn the brakes failed! Thankfully managed to get the car back to the
barn the 4 mile lane from Polperro was very narrow & full of pot holes
hence why they split the brake pipes! On Monday recovery truck took me to Liskeard
after a 5 hour wait the garage mechanic said will not be done today! okay have you got a
courtesy car NO was the arrogant reply, you will have to take bus or train back to
holiday let! 1-1/2 hour bus ride to Polperro then a taxi to the barn got in at
5pm L next day had
taxi all the way back to Liskeard so with final bill £280 & only done half
the job! To top of the week Ros slipped in the en-suite room bruising her side
so we came back a day early was glad to get back home. The garage in Liskeard only did half a job so on the Monday the
front pipes had to be changed another £150 bill should have sold the car years ago
we have had so much work done to it nearly new!
