Er, anyone near Cambridge with a car?

[major_clanger]

Because ours, despite bugshaw turning the engine over a couple of times whilst I was away, now has a rather flat battery. I have some jump-leads, but they do rather need a second car to connect them to...

(And this is the problem with virtual social networks. We came to Cambridge knowing so many people that we've actually been very crap at getting to know our physical neighbours, most of whom are at best nodding acquaintances and at worst an ever-changing stream of language students who still haven't quite got the hang of the difference between the green and black wheelybins.)

Look on it as an opportunity to get to know the nodding aquaintences a bit better.

Does it need doing tonight, or will tomorrow do? If the latter, and no one else volunteers, I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday.

Er, no, it is not at all urgent. As watervole points out I am being a Complete Wuss and do not need to go dragging my friends from much better pursuits when I ought to just go and get to know the neighbours a bit better.

And Happy Birthday!

Thanks. ;~) We really wouldn't mind at all. It would be nice to see you.

Leave it till it's warmer? My Escort has been a right pig about starting, though it's diesel, which probably makes a difference.

Otherwise maybe Monday evening?

Sorted, or does it still need assistance? Bug has my email if it still needs doing, and you should both have our phone number, as well.

Sorted, thank you, via the loan of a battery charger from Tom WINQOLJ*. But thanks again for the offer of help - and shall we be seeing you at the Blue on Monday?

That is indeed the plan. Glad you got it sorted. ;~)
