Default It's national breakdown day today

I thought this was interesting, today is typically the busiest time of the year for breakdown companies to be called out.

Surely if a car is well maintained and serviced it should be fine, having sat for a few days over the holiday period!

Did anyone on here breakdown this morning?

Say what? Is that because its the first day back into work after all the holiday cheer, most people's cars havn't done a journy in over two weeks, and usually its colder this time of year, so something may have froze and broke?

I aint driving today. Its my day off. Im off for a run now. Then back to watch Brad Pits new film. Hope its good.
