Daily blog (audio): You'd just change the wheel, wouldn't you? [World Cup semi flat tyre]

<p>You'd just change the wheel, wouldn't you? [World Cup semi flat tyre]</p> <p><br> <br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>I presume we’re all, at the very least, aware that the England men’s football team played in a major championship final for the first time in 55 years the other week.</p> <p>TimeHop that day showed me that it was exactly three years, to the day, since we reached the semi final of the World Cup.</p> <p>We showed that match on the big screen down at RISE.</p> <p>Had maybe 30 odd of us there, watching together.</p> <p>Within 2m of each other, I should imagine.</p> <p>That’s how we rolled back then.</p> <p>I can’t remember why, but my Step Daughter Izzie wasn’t with her Dad as she normally is on a Wednesday.</p> <p>And my wife Alex was at work (she used to leave the house to work in the “old days”).</p> <p>So Izzie, Charlie and I went over to Bakewell after school to get Oli and Jamie from after their school club.</p> <p>We’d have got back to Macc for about 5.30 and it was a 7pm Kick Off if I remember correctly.</p> <p>Slight problem though.</p> <p>Heading along the A6 between Bakewell and Buxton and we get a flat tyre.</p> <p>That car doesn’t have a spare.</p> <p>So we ring The AA.</p> <p>Guy arrives about half five or so.</p> <p>Clearly wanting to get done and home for the England game.</p> <p>I’ve never seen someone work so fast.</p> <p>Phone cradled between his ear and shoulder, talking to the guys at Selecta-Tyre in Buxton, whilst checking our tyre then loading us onto his flat bed.</p> <p>We get to Selecta-Tyre minutes before they are due to close at 6.</p> <p>And are done and out by 6.</p> <p>Guys are like a pit crew replacing the tyre whilst another guy takes my payment and gives me a receipt.</p> <p>Genuinely all done in under 5 minutes.</p> <p>They were keen to get home too.</p> <p>We got home, picked Alex up, had a quick bite to eat
