My daughter to the rescue

My daughter works at a child minding facility in the evenings doing meals and cleaning up. It helps pay for her pony and college. The other day it seems a gate at the bottom of a flight of stairs broke a top hinge. This came to my daughter's attention when she saw one of the staff trying to hold it up and other staff wondering how to sort it out.
When my daughter got her 90 tdi I got her a tool kit with basic tools like, screwdrivers, pliers etc plus a set of spanners for maintenance. My daughter told them that the only way to remedy the situation was to remove the gate and get a replacement hinge fitted to the top. She said she had a tool kit in the Land Rover and she could remove the gate. So she got the toolkit and removed the bottom hinge and freed up the gate. Now this is the good part. This in my daughter's own words..
"Manager was like why do you have a tool kit and when I said because I drive a land rover and have a stable she just looked at me like my answer didn't make sense."

i saved the day at work when we had the beast from that year. This was when i had the 300 TDI, anyway the snow was getting silly, i had told my TL on shift to clear his car, as it was getting worse. He did that straight away. He then came over to me, with another TL and said, Andy can we borrow you and your Defender? I said, Yeah whats up? TL replies, we need you to bring in one of the lads, for A12, the Grill build is very, very tight. He has phoned in, not been able to get in, due to the bus services. So me and the TL went out and brought him in, We had a bit of fun in the snow too.

My senior supervisor still laughs about it to this very day, calls the defender the beast. He said, if we ever have that again, you are not going on line at all! Be in the canteen ready to pick people up, with a TL.
