Today, I Have Been

[nailit]

covered in giraffe spit, butted by goat, overcharged for an icecream, nearly fetched said icecream up after 6 consecutive goes on a ride, and my son got *** on by a bat.
Great day out at west midlands safari park.
just thought it would be a good idea to share that after a few tins of beer...

[nailit]

yeah Tony we did but it was a hire car and you have to return with the same car reg: so just a one off. Had my entrance paid for so cant complain.

[nailit]

Had to pay for the ride wrist band tho.

Back in the 70's we went to a safari park and on leaving we broke down. An AA man came over and said "Are you with the AA mate" Mic said no the RAC. He said you better call them out mate the monkeys have pulled the loom out of you car.

[tonyav]

nailit, did you ever go to the West Mids Safari Park when they had the monkeys roaming around ?, they had to stop letting the monkeys roam around a few years ago. To many cars getting damaged.

[nailit]

jezza, whats loom?
Tony, Last went west midlands about 20 yrs ago, cant remember if they had chimps (or monkeys of any kind) then. Got no monkeys now tho. Always a bit of a worry when you have a hire car, going to these places. Never know if your going to get the vehicle back in one piece.

[Jeza]

Nailit, I think it is where all the electrics are attached. Tony will know.

[tonyav]

Wiring loom, runs the electrics on the car.

[tonyav]

They weren't chimps, nailit. They were like those monkeys in Gibraltar, they used to like ripping windscreen wipers and radio aerials off.

[nailit]

oh thank you tony and jezz.
I used to be a driver for a living (7 1/2 ton driver) but im so out of touch with vehicles now its ridiculous. The car....or people carrior... I had today was a t*at to drive. Peddles too high, no handbrake ( had another peddle to apply the handbrake and a lever to release it). I must be getting old...

[nailit]

Barbury apes I think Tony, none of those now.

[tonyav]

Hope you didn't have any hill starts, nailit.

[flump1]

Good to hear you have had a good day x

[nailit]

lol tony, haha, I did actually and nearly rolled into the car behind me.....on more than one occasion. Ive had a full clean lisence for over 25 yrs but think i might loose it to these new kind of cars.

[nailit]

thanks flump, good day

[marval]

It sounds like a good day nailit.

[Brinjal]

At least your car didn't catch fire in the lion enclosure like the family at Longleat earlier in the year.

[Elina]

Nice to hear you had a good day nailit. How are you this morning?
