Don't worry, my remedy is a good rub down with a demanding Wife! :lol: ;)

Joking aside, I had just come out of Asda after a big re-stock of tinned food. The traffic lights were in my favour, but a Billy-Boy -Racer jumped a red light and broad sided me. Air bags went off and everything. My motor is totalled. Anyhow, apart from bruises and whiplash, all is well. Courtesy car delivered. From a prepping point of view, this is where good insurance pays off. Especially as we are discussig disasters(although knowing insurance companies...).
Anyhow, been drawing up me lists as I am laid up. Ta ta for now. :D

Don't worry. My insurance has already set the legal wheels rollin'. Good thing though,; it puts life in perspective.

New list tomorrow.

where there’s blame there’s a claim, hope the little sod gets 6 months for Dangerous Driving.

Y.Andy, yep, I am sore as hell. HRP, he is getting done, (fortunately he is insured),and yes, the legal people have already contacted me about my Whiplash etc. but any compensation I get, I reckon will only bridge the gap between 'book price' and what I have to pay for another. Oh well ...

When i was involved in a accident i was chased by them for 3 years trying to put a claim in The reason i didnt is i was coming home from a day mountain biking and i had taken a tumble doing that so couldnt be sure i'd been hurt pre or post....

and i was much better off than another 3rd party who had the car cut apart to get her out..

preps in my biking bag helped out high vis first aid kit and Etrex GPS etc


999 Ive been in a RTC on a unclassified road at grid reference AA (xxxx,xxxx)
