14 March 2022 Chichester
Today is what we call an interesting day we tend to use the word interesting to replace what would be described as foul language. We drove the van down to Southdown motorhomes for a repair to the rear bumper (a 6 hour job) The part has been at the workshop for two years and due to Covid this is the first time we have been able to get there.
We dropped the van off hired a car and drove to Salisbury on arrival the phone ran and it was Southdowns informing us they had the wrong part and could not do the repair? (intereasting).
We carried on with our day also visiting Winchester and Southsea at Portsmouth after driving through a clean air zone we checked on the Goverment website for charges we then realised why the rental car was displaying odd things to us (like Sailing) it was a Kia Rio 3 mhev Hybrid electric.
