It Must Be My Age

Being all organised, I booked my car in for it's MOT a couple of weeks before the current one runs out. I Took Laura up there in plenty of time, armed myself with a Jack Reacher book and prepared to book her in then sit and have a good read while Laura was put through her paces.
"There's no record of an appointment for your car for today?" said the nice man, "Are you sure you booked it in with us?"
"Of course I booked it in with you, this is the only garage I use for repairs and MOT, why would I suddenly book it in with another garage? This one is just round the corner from where I live, I would be daft to go anywhere else."
We didn't get to the bottom of the mystery but the upshot was, Laura is booked in for tomorrow.

As I drove home I received an answer phone message..........asking if I had forgotten my MOT appointment.......from the garage across town.
