What @diable says is fair, but is it really worth risking it? Maybe if you were looking at a £300 recovery bill, but the AA will do it for nothing more than a bit of time and hassle.
How much of a tit will you feel if you crash it because the brakes don't work?
What if you hit someone?
I have AA cover, I'm going to look under the car and also pop the bonnet and check brake fluid reservoir levels when I get home.
If there's fluid on the floor and/or the fluid is below the minimum then I'll get it recovered, if fluid looks ok/isn't leaking then that says master cylinder failure to me, which (please correct if wrong) will lead to brake performance degradation but not catastrophic failure.
