pandemonium by name pandemonium by nature

we were towing pandemonium down to suffolk yacht harbour (very slowly), the roads were fine just a bit slushy but we gave it a go anyway. the boat and trailer were towing well , every so often a little wobble but they were fine. before starting we were a bit nervous because we haven't had the best of luck when towing her. when dad was bring her home ( i had school) the trailer had a blow out on the back left wheel meaning dad couldn't carry on.... so he called the aa out so he had to wait for them to come with a flat bed trailer, the one they came with we had to which the boat up onto it but as the trailer has an overhang there wasn't enough clearance... so they had to call out a lorry which the flat bed could be lowered right to the ground and then raised. by the time dad got home it was around 02.30am. when we set off we checked everything because we didnt want this to happen again. when we got on the A14 we thought the worst was over, but we couldn't have been more wrong!!!! the same wheel that caused the trouble before had come off . a bolt had sheered and the wheel came flying off (lucky it was a four wheeled trailer) causing the wheel to fly off into the road ... luckily no one was hurt. we called the aa and and they said they would send a similar lorry. at first they said 1hr then it went to 3hrs then 5 hrs so mum , my brother and me decided that we would go and get supplements but when we tried to turn the car on .... the battery had died so we were there and the support vehicle (the car) had ran out of battery so we had to call out our local garage because the aa would take event longer than to get a lorry there. eventually we got the car started and drove off to get lunch and left pandemonium in the layby..
