Blimey, we are flat out, and I drive a Peugeot 407. Don’t ask why? Downgraded from a Passat and decided I would buy a simple conveyance 6 speed auto, bluetooth, all whistles and bells, but I dunno not the same. I even took it for an MOT this year, and normally I dont keep them that long, usually chop-em in. Never feel comfortable buying anything too flash otherwise there will be a “union meeting” in the carpark.

Re: Worst Week Ever
Mine has just had its 2nd MOT, first time that has happened in 25 years. 😥
No union meetings in the car park if I mention a new motor, just earache from SWMBO. :rolls:

Spot on there Lee, exactly right mate I can, and do, pick and choose. The work I reject (and as I say a lot of which is Hotpoint these days) I pass on to my local competition*…. so everyone wins!
* In total cooperation with Canufixit, Criscold & Appleelectrics whom I regards as colleagues rather than competition anyway.

Nah, never fancied merc’s. English Racing Green Jag XF 3 litre diesel. My van’s a diesel so can often mix up fuel receipts on my expenses some how?

Re: Worst Week Ever
Only had two calls in past fortnight, but then I am still on board this huge ship until Saturday. Both calls from ‘friends’. Now I know why I won’t give my mobile number to customers. 😉
Sailing back across the Bay of Biscay as I type, weather has been great for two weeks but we are promised some ‘motion on the ocean’ in next 24 hours. 😯
