After just over 3.5 years, the other side's insurance (Aviva) finally settled and the costs have been recovered. And I expect it was quite a lot of cost too. As mentioned in [wordpress.com/post/blen...](https://wordpress.com/post/blenderfox.com/8108:)
Total costs the other side will have to foot: Value of my car (written off): £3000 Value of the car next to me (written off): £2500 Value of the car that both our cars got shunted into (written off): £1500 Repair of the damaged car (sole survivor): £1500 Hire car (45 days @ £75 per day): £3375
Total Costs: £11875
And this is not including the other side's own car, which was likely also written off.
Another walk in nice weather. Did the longer walk today. Queues outside the local fruit n veg. No queue outside Co-Op (though there was on the way back). Small queue outside Tesco Express petrol station, big queues outside Sainsbury's no queue outside Tesco Express supermarket, and small queues outside the butchers and the fruit n veg stores nearby to there.
Did my shopping this morning. Missed my usual 5:30am queue up and ended at the Tesco at 6:15am and there were no queues. No idea why, there's normally queues until past 6:30am at least.
And the shelves were pretty well stocked up. So perhaps the panic buyers have finally bankrupted themselves.
This will be the final weekend with my car since it will be being picked up Monday for recycling. So I made sure everything was emptied out of the car today. Out of curiosity, I turned on the ignition (but not the engine) and the electrics all came on and the radio was fine and still had its memory of my stations, and there were no warning alarms. Whether the car is driveable or not, we'll find out when the salvage agent comes on Monday.
