Could be worse - Could of had one in the front as well.

Well done for checking your tyres before you set off though, I often don't TBH.

Going to local place during week for a looksee but todays sunday staff said it cant be repaired because of its position or some bs like that.

You can do, but it isn't advised.

Its not BS. If it's near the edge there's a good chance the patch will peel off as the tyre flexes.

Its sort of off centre but better safe (and skint) than sorry
