MY WWII started 2 days before the official Declaration! in 1939
written by RODNEY ANGELL-BAKER
 On Friday 1st of September 1939, I was a little lad 10 years of age, setting off with my little brother and sister (and all the rest of our Leeds School), for a 'Place of Safety' Mums and Dads stood on the pavement outside the school, waving bravely as the fleet of Blue Leeds City double-decker buses took their bewildered children away from them carrying little suitcases, little gas mask boxes, and bearing a large brown name label pinned to their coats. That was on Friday, but... war wasn't declared uuntil Sunday 3rd of September - so the Childrens' war started 2 days before, - but there was no sympathetic umpire to shout 'False Start' and send us back home!

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
