So … as you may or may not already know … I’ve been without a car the last two weeks. My nanna very kindly offered hers to me and I was grateful. But unfortunately, it’s technically unroadworthy because there’s a crack in the windscreen, nanna’s lost the new registration sticker and up until this morning, needed to be jumpstarted every time I wanted to drive anywhere. Until I went to BATTERY WORLD that is! Roger, the owner of the franchise, fitted my nanna’s car with a brand new battery. I had respect for him right away as he said “You just want  a cheap battery, yeah?” – no hard sale. Also, he recycles every battery he replaces. Also, he offers a 24 hour roadside service! Call 13 17 60. You know what else I liked about Roger? He didn’t charge me for doing the hard work of actually replacing the battery, which although I observed, didn’t look very hard but definately tedious. So praise to you Roger and Battery World. Sure, I’m still broke (battery’s aren’t THAT cheap), but I now have a car I feel moderately safe driving around in! Also, Van Morrison’s “Bright Side of the Road” sung me all the way home (up until getting the battery replaced, Dad told me to not use the radio or heater or anything that might drain the battery). It’s a good morning!

Bless you, Battery World.

Blattery World.
