A Tale of Two Vickys/Vickis!

Every now and then you hear that a previous unheard episode of a radio or tv show has lain undiscovered for a long time - well I have realised that a recording from over 3 months ago has been dormant in my archives!

This recording was taken back at the start of March 2024 with two of our own PDIs at our driving school (Training Wheelz) and gives the background to how they made their training choice. They are both named Vicky (or Vicki)! One of them (Vicki) has the email address including gthe term 'madvic' but it is the other (Vicky) who is the real mad one out of them!

The initial recording suffered from mad Vicky using her phone and the first attempt suffering from none of us realising her contribution wasn't recording after she took a call on her phone! They both very kindly came back a few days later to complete the recording. Even so there were a few gremlins from mad Vicky's internet connection. I have edited out some of the gaps and interference but so hopefully the recording does run reasonably smoothly. My a;pologies idf there are still a couple of hiccups within the recording.

(Mad) Vicky was an ADI many years ago and started her training with us whereas Vicki started with a national company and fairly soon realised this was not really working for her. As her eldest daughter had learned with me I was delighted when she asked if she could complete her training with us.

I am delighted to say Vicki has since qualified - she will be giving her account of her Part 3 soon - it was fairly eventful with her learner having a complete meltdown on the test!
