We went to stay with some friends in Warwick and a visit to Stratford on Sunday. My friend and I were proper tourists and posed with a very large teddy bear dressed as the bard much to the embrarrassment of our partners!
On the morning of our trip out another friend of ours had a flat tyre, so, buoyed by the fact that I had had our lovely female mechanic on the show last week, I barked orders to the men about taking off the wheel. They pulled and they pushed, and then they sprayed WD40 over it to make sure it slid off - it didn't and then they read the manual that said 'under no cicrcumstances should WD40 be put on' so then we washed the wheel with hot soapy water, and still it stayed on. So we pulled a bit more, and kicked and thumped. Finally the mechanic arrived and with a rubber mallet and ONE thud off it came! Of course the men were all left saying 'of course we loosened that for him..........'!
