Well this is becoming surreal. Not only am I getting a hire bike, I've just had a call from their tech guy to discuss the estimate for the damage that I presented.
"I've seen your damaged parts list and the quoted cost for effecting the repair and it would put this into the realms of being written off. I understand that you would be willing to accept a cash settlement to keep your bike on the road yourself. Your estimate has the damage at £1487, but we could only offer you...."
>sits back awaiting pi$$taking piddly offer of 50%<
"...£1400 if that's acceptable."
>falls off chair<
It's a good job I'm an atheist or else I'd be wasting the rest of today down at St Ignatius's on my knees ?

Though the way be long, let your heart beat strong, keep right on to the end!
