Give me strength!
Why is it so bloomin' difficult to purchase a battery for my lovely little MX5?
I have been on the phone to more car parts retailers than I can mention, and they all seem to be completely incapable of understanding the English language!
How many times have I explained that I would like to know if they have a battery for a 1997 Mazda MX5 1.8 Dakar in stock? (to save a wasted journey)
How many times have I had to repeat myself over & over?
How many times have they asked if I can bring the car to them so that they can check they have the right one?
How many times have I said that I can't do that BECAUSE THE BATTERY IS DEAD! and at present I have no way of starting the car?
Why is it that I get the impression that because I'm a woman I don't know what I'm asking for?
Why is Rob at work when I need him? He's asked me to find one out there and he'll pick it up on his way home, but it's looking more and more unlikely at the moment.
Phew - needed to get that out of my system.
Now it's on with the quest. Wish me luck. I think I'm going to need it!!!
