snyper Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 No.. Not so unusual. The AA use private contractors for the towing. The Irony is with the broken down van Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/568508-pic-not-even-the-aa-use-the-aa/#findComment-588639858 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Patriot Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Could someone explain to the other 99.9% of us that don't live in the UK what is so funny about this picture?

acnpt Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Could someone explain to the other 99.9% of us that don't live in the UK what is so funny about this picture? The AA provides roadside assistance if your car breaks down. eg Try and fix it or tow you to a garage. The tow truck towing the AA van isn't an AA tow truck. So its kinda ironic that they don't rely on themselves to help their own broken down vans.

tao muon Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Source please.. You need a source quoting 99.9% of the people that don't live in the UK... don't know what the AA is? rofl I'd be willing to bet that 100% of the people that don't live in the UK, don't live there. And maybe .1% of those people know what the AA is. And most of us in the USA think AA is Alcoholics Anonymous- which makes the tow truck thing even more enigmatic.

tuckeratlarge Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 if they use their own tow-trucks to rescue their own vans that's two vehicles that are not helping their customers, makes perfect business sense to me Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/568508-pic-not-even-the-aa-use-the-aa/#findComment-588642045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
