          I wonder if the use of "job", "hand" and "showers" in the same sentance might have had a different meaning

              Now the mother of the girl with the car has just phoned me up, all pissed off.

              I went 'Oh evening, are you the mother of the girl who hit me'

              'Pardon!!!!!!!'

              'I said, are you the mother of the girl who hit me?'

              'I BEG YOUR PARDON!!!!'

              'Oh it's just that your daughter admitted it, I have an IPHONE and recorded the conversation as well as taking pictures of the damage'

              'Ohhhhhh? You recorded it?'

              'Yes, yes I did, would you like to listen?'

              'Well I'm gong to write to the insurance company, thats why we pay them. Good day!!!!'

                If she drove into the back of you, and you weren't reversing, she's bang to rights anyway (if you'll excuse the phrase).

                    That said though, my insurance paperwork says "Never admit liability in an accident." even if it is your fault.

                      The mother was a classic. Really indignant.

                      The girl passed her test on the 7th July.

                      I suppose if it was my daughter I would also try it on.

                      I'll imagine now, that they will concoct a story to say I was reversing as there were no witnesses. Little pikeys.
