thread_title: Car Registration History mention

message: I've changed the first sentence to make it more obvious that The AA is a private company nowadays. Thomas Blomberg 09:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Private company 

message: The history section is tagged with an 'advertisement' tag. I have made some adjustments to the section to tone down some of the 'puff'. I would however like to point out that the court case mentioned in the section about the patrols obstructing the police in the course of their business and the organisation's subsequent coded messaging system is completely missing from the official company history. I will add some more balancing content and remove the banner unless anyone comes back with any further issues. PeterEastern (talk) 07:41, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Advertisment 

message: The first sentence of paragraph 2 under "The private company" looks like a victim of careless editing:
:In 2002 the AA Motoring Trust was to carry out their public interest motoring and road safety work following.
Following what? 
If my guess is correct, this is what it means, and this version or something like it should be substituted in the article (changes bolded):
:In 2002 the AA Motoring Trust was established to carry out the AA's public interest motoring and road safety work following the demutualisation.

replies: text: Lots of editing since then, including in that section (now called De-mutualisation), but the sentence is still the same nonsense. I've made the change. --Thnidu (talk) 01:39, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[The Automobile Association#The private company|The private company]] section 

message: Patrolman Pete doesn't meet notability criteria for its own article, and is likely to be deleted unless merged here. However, may make a relevant section here. Boleyn (talk) 10:52, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal: [[Patrolman Pete]] to [[The Automobile Association#Patrolman Pete]]

message: AA Cars is a promotional article about a web site run by the Automobile Association. It probably doesn't deserve an article of its own, and its references are weak, but a brief mention in The Automobile Association would be appropriate. --John Nagle (talk) 18:01, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like there's already an AA Cars section in the article. So I'm going to "prod" the AA Cars article. --John Nagle (talk) 18:39, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, I think a merge would serve well in this instance. -- HighKing++   21:55, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge proposal from [[AA Cars]] 

message: The lede and the History section both say that the AA "was founded in 1905" yet the AA Badges section says "From 1901 until 1967 the AA distributed vehicle badges." which means that they were distributing them 4 years before they were formed. Can someone knowledgeable please either correct the relevant date or add an explanation for this apparent anomoly. Thanks Kiore (talk) 08:48, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date Conflict 

message: i'm sure AA has applied a new logo that is yellow with black inside instead of vice versa. --94.185.129.10 (talk) 09:00, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

message: The AA member subscription is in two parts to two different companies but collected as one payment. Can this be explained?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.159.232 (talk) 18:25, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  AA member subscription 

message: Why is there no mention of things unrelated to vehicles in this article? 
I'm clueless when it comes to money, cars, insurance, mortgages, bills etc as I've never lived on my own, I've never been abroad by myself, I haven't learnt to drive, and I have a simple bulding society card where you can't go below zero and have zero charges.
However after a quick look at the AA website it looks like they provide countless things unrelated to vehicles like:
* Savings Accounts/ISA's
* Mortgages
* Credit Cards
* Travel Currency Cards
* Life Insurance
* Pet Insurance
* Will and Testaments
* Home Insurance
* Contents Insurance
* Building Insurance
* Holiday Home Insurance
And no doubt other stuff.
I could add the above things to the article, but I wouldn't be able to go into detail.
