Just a wee post to say thank you very much indeed, to the wonderful local gentleman who took the time to stop near Crossroads Primary School tonight, and assist a Burd in distress.
On a piddly, wet, windy evening, I suffered a wiper incident, i.e. one of my windscreen wipers decided it had had enough, and subsequently broke! Fortunately, I had a new wiper in the boot, but could I get it attached to the car?! It refused to fit. There I was, soaked to the skin, two impatient kids in the car, and I could not get it to attach.
After a good 20mins trying, a gentleman in a dark blue (estate?) car, pulled up and offered to help. The pair of us battled on for another 15 or more mins, still with no joy. Another 10mins, and I gave up, and slowly limped home defeated when the rain eased a little.
For the record, a Skype chat with MrBurd this evening, managed to resolve the issue within minutes- there was an extra fitting on the blade itself that had to be remove, grrrr! Wiper is now working a charm. :-)
Thank you once more, kind stranger, the fact that you took the time to stop, and offer some assistance, was so much appreciated - you truly are, one of life's good 'uns! :-D
