AA

That grand organisation the AA – Automobile Association – was founded in 1905. It still provides help to travellers through Hotel Recommendations and Roadside Breakdown Assistance.
My favourite AA memory is that of their patrols using a coded warning system for members. A patrolman would always salute the driver of a passing car which showed a visible AA Badge unless there was a speed trap nearby, thus officers could not be prosecuted for failing to salute and drivers would be aware of their speed.

We should have been away but L had a hospital visit this morning. Hopefully we may be able to resume our travels tomorrow. In the meantime . . .

Hope you all have a grand weekend ahead !
