Last night going home from Stockley Park Near hayes a firework blew my rear window out.
Now I have to sort out a window cancel some shoots and low and be hold,  it has damaged the rear window lifting arm.

So now without a car and cancelling this close to Christmas has caused some issues with clients.

No idea on size, just it sounded like a shot gun to me.
As for renting i have to get the guy's to look at the damage today and wait for a time to come in before my insurers get me a hire car.

Sorry to hear that Jimbo! Doesn't your insurance provide a courtesy car?
I have never developed indigestion from eating my words.

Glass is normally covered by your insurance and the likes of Autoglass come to you where ever you are, home or shoot location. your insurance company may even pay for a hire car as it is your business mode of transport (as long as you have been honest with your insurers)

Yep, i get a courtesy car.
However just had a call and they can't get the glass in, so calling round the main dealers.

Also with the possible damage to the arms i may need peaugeot to fix it now.

It's an unusual boot as the boot opens, also the rear class opens independently, good for carrying long items though.

2 hours to wait for a call to find the glass they now tell me.

Sorry to hear about your probsLady, I think we need the banning altogether now, except for organised displays etc.

You have to laugh now.

Autoglass looked at my car last night saying more than glass damage.
9am this morning mentioned this to them.
They said will find glass from a dealer as non in stock.


Now called back saying better if peugeot fix it as it has more than glass damage.
Why not tell me this at 9am.

Green flag on way to pick it up.

now gone from £75 excess to £200 excess.

Emptied car and where they shut the door has scratched all the plastic trim.

Emmm, actually they have it is illegal to sell Fireworks to anyone under the age of 18.

However, it is like acohol and fags, some idiot will but them for the under 18s or shop keepers, who don't give a stuff, will still sell to them.
Cheers
