Well that is pretty normal for Autowindscreen, they do scratches and broken glass not mechanical or electrical failure so they are within their rights to refuse to come out I am afraid.

Have you had a quote to repair the Octavia?

 No i,m not going to bother with it this side of going away so we,ve booked in the laguna for a two bar to be fitted to that , its to much trouble to get the octavia fixed , as were getting packed to go away next week , and the laguna is newer  so should be okay

Good job it didn't happen while you were traveling on holiday though and at least you have a second car to use . It's really hard sometimes but try to look at the positives....good job you didn't go to Brean the other day  , or camperlands today.

You will have a much needed chill soon when you go away .
