"The AA had our rescue in the can"

#ithappenedtome

"My sister and I were on our way home from visiting a friend when we broke down on the busy A55. We called the AA for help.

"When the patrol arrived he took one look at the exhaust and asked if we had a tin can. Luckily, I remembered seeing one on the embankment while I was waiting for the AA, walking up and down to keep warm.

"Our patrol was brilliant. With the use of an old tin can he somehow managed to do a patch-up job that got us home safely without having to be towed. Now, whenever I open a can of beans or a can of drink, guess who it reminds me of?"
