As I Said last time - It's suprising what a chauffeur gets asked to do. This particular Saturday I collected a Bride from the Chesterfield area, It was a very pleasant sunny morning, and as is usual I arrived in good time and advised the excited/stressed household of my arrival. You can often see a visible sigh of relief at your arrival, "Well at least we can get to the Church".
We set of in good time for a very nice location not far from Alfreton. About 20 miniutes into the journey, with about 2 miles left to go, I detected a great deal of 'fidgeting' in the back of the car. Eventually the Bride asked if I could pull over, fortunately I was approaching a large lay by, so I dutifully stopped the car.
The Bride then explained to me that she had a 'wardrode malfunction', namely one of these had become detached!
She quite matter of factly asked if I could help her to reconnect the offending object as it was round the back and the 'fullness' of the dress was preventing her from doing this herself! All part of the duties of a chauffeur. I made sure my hands were warm and knelt down next to the rear door while she leaned over, and after a couple of attempts the clip was restored to it's rightful place. Phew!
With the Bride now feeling 'secure' once again, we proceeded on to the venue, where she thanked me for my assistance, giving me a knowing smile, "All part of the service" said I.
Before there is a huge rush of applications to be a chauffeur, I have to say that this doesn't happen very often!
