More Potholes 22/01/2010
 
Since posting about Cublington Roads now infamous pothole I have had quite a response from people in a similar position. If any of you are thinking of making a claim you can contact me for information. Below are pics of the potholes that caught out our drivers. The first two pictures are of the one in Cublington Road, the other two are near the Tesco's roundabout in Tring on the way to the A41.
Noticed today the roads in and around Wing are becoming more and more pitted. Considering the amount of taxes paid for the supposed upkeep of our roads, makes one wonder where it is being spent?

Sicknote Week 19/01/2010
 
Since Friday evening Wing Cars office has somewhat resembled a doctors surgery.
John has completed his convalescence from his mysterious illness which began just before Christmas (yeah right!)
Pete L is on a course of antibiotics...best not go into that...
And on Monday H was rushed into hospital for an emergency operation on his ingrowing toenail, which is a disaster as it means no doughnuts before the weekend.
On a more serious note, I am curious as to how many people were caught out by the enormous pothole on the Cublington  Rd? We already know of several punctures and suspension problems caused by this. Also heard 3 Welsh potholers are still unaccounted for. Don't know about the truth of this though. If any of you were caught out by this please let me know.

Interested to read in 'Private Hire and Taxi Monthly' (as featured on 'Have I Got News For You'...possibly), that of taxis and private hire cars stopped for spot checks by Aylesbury Vale District Council, a staggering 91% were found to have faults, over 50% of which were serious enough for the cars to be taken off the road. I hasten to add that none of these cars were ours, and am proud to say we have never had a car taken off the road due to our strict maintenance routine. If it continues like this we'll soon be the only choice for you all...hopefully! :)

Snow!

Been very busy, so no time for the blog.
Kids just back to school for one day then the weather comes, lucky little devils. All very pretty, not the best weather for a private hire company, but there you go, c'est la vie!
Be careful of potholes on the Cublington Road, and also at Tring just before the A41. Not recommended to drive into them with low profile tyres.
Had Winter tyres fitted to the cars today, seems to make a big difference, so something to do every year now.
