On the minus side , driving back on the A689 from Seaton Carew to Newton Aycliffe , car broke down I had wife and 3 children all under 6yr old in the car. Thus was in the early 1980s was snowing . I left them and walked almost a mile back to a petrol station near Wolviston it's not there anymore btw. They didn't have a public phone so I explained the situation and asked if I could use his phone to call the AA , the twat refused. Had to walk back and flag down a car . The driver took my wife and the kids to a cafe in Sedgefield and she got the AA out to me from there. Was feckin freezing.I broke down in boldon, no petrol
Some bloke spotted me walking along with my Jerry can. This was rush hour and he was in a work van with his apprentice so they’d obviously been at work all day
They picked me up, took me to petrol station, waited then took me back to car. Even waited til the car had started
Total opposite direction to where they were going and took about 40 minutes due to it being rush hour
