I have an amusing story about the AA from years ago.
As a family we were on the way to my Nan's in South Worcestershire via a stretch of the motorway. There was something sounding funny with the motor of Dad's Mini so he pulled off at one of the junctions to have a look inside the bonnet, just after an AA man pulled up to see if he could help - hoping I guess to enrol a new member.
However, Dad was a member of the RAC and he suddenly noticed the badge on the front of the car so, without saying anything at all, he just walked away!
We all had a good laugh about that and Dad sorted the motor out himself.
