Strawberies and Cream

I spent Tuesday at Wimbledon watching the tennis which was not bad at all except when we went for a Pims and strawberries. I had a shock, I mean we could have had a meal at a decent restaurant for what we were charged, lucky we took a car from Browns to take us there and pick us up. We spent the weekend in Dorset celebrating my 60Th. We did the funniest thing after lunch we went to monkey world for a laugh and for the first time I was allowed to pay OAP prices, what a result hah.

It's been an unbelievable week so far, the Americans are here in force thank God, the cars look absolutely lovely all lined up in SW19, makes you proud just to look at them especially when you compare them with other car hire companies. We have had to take on more staff to cope with the influx of work so please bear with us when calling the office to book a car, we still promise to answer the phone within 5 rings but instead of the 2Nd ring we will probably answer on the 5Th.
The new cars are the business and we have appointed some brilliant chauffeurs to drive them.
This time of the year you get a lot of owner drivers that surface so you need to be careful when hiring a car. Make sure that the driver is licenced (he should have a PCO Licence with him) and if he is sent to you from a company ask if they have seen his insurance certificate. Finally his car should display a green holographic disc with the number of his car with the valid date clearly displayed. Make sure that you ask what the charges are going to be before hand or they will charge you whatever they think you can afford. Have a look at their website which should have a tariff for you to compare. Your driver should have all of the above, if he does not then for your safety do not get in his car and most importantly report him and his company to the relevant authorities.

Right, that's my safety instructions for the day, enjoy the rest of the week, make the most of this smashing weather and make sure you spray or you might burn.

England are through to the next stage of the World cup, Murray is still there, it does not get better than this.

Until the next time have a good one people. And PLEASE do not forget to book your cars for the Airshow it starts on the 19Th of July
