I assume they are on video calls

My cars in for its MOT and Service, the rear bushes need doing, but I get a 10% discount as I have a service plan.


They also did an advisory on the tyres despite the fact they are between 3-4.5mm.


I mean that's taking the mick especially at about £250 each

The condition of the sidewalls seems to be more significant than tread depth these days. 2 mechs I know have been told to fail all tyres over 5 years old (the date is moulded onto each tyre).

The irony is the MOT cert isn't worth the ink used.


You could pull out of the service station, the police pull you and deem something a fail.

Self assessment time

Pay a company money for them to tell you you owe HMRC more money after already paying exorbitant amounts of tax, NI and some employers NI for good measure

Grrrrrr

Having to drive to Leeds to see my daughter this weekend. Nothing to do with seeing her, obviously I love that.

It’s the fact I have to drive around the dump known as Leeds. A horrible, dog’s arse of a city to drive around. Whoever designed the traffic system must have been on drugs. The city itself seems to be full of local chavs, this is her final year so I can’t wait for her to leave the place for the final time and I never have to step foot in the rotten dump.

"Certified at the time of inspection". I saw the car before mine pass, drive outside, and we all noticed the brake lights were not working.

I have the misfortune to work there, and don't enjoy going to the student areas.

Sounds a bit like Derby - a dreadful place to drive around, one way systems everywhere, seems like it was designed by someone on LSD.

For her first year she lived in Central Village which is right in the centre and a proper pain in the arse to get to. It’s like you can see it about 300 yards away but have to drive a mile or so to get to it. Plus it was almost next to one of the hospitals Savile did his stuff at which creeped me the eff out.

She then moved to the other side of Hyde Park, not far from the Emmerdale Studios which is slightly easier to get to but still a bit of a dog rough area. Her flat is nice and the landlord looks after her and the housemates but still not a nice area.

Think most cities gave good and bad areas. Roundhay Park is nice, if you can forget Mr Savilles flat overlooking the playground.

I avoid driving through it, never understood the inner ring system , a motorway that goes past everything but you can't actually get to any of them. Nice view of them though, as you zoom or crawl past.

One of the Yorkshire rippers victims (Irene Richardson) was found in Roubdhay Park near the playground and Saville was actually discreetly questioned about being the ripper as he lived so close, there's a particularly chilling photo floating about of Sutcliffe and Saville chatting away like old pals in Broadmoor and Frank Bruno looking on bemused

Bruno has since said he wasn’t aware that the guy whose hand he was shaking was Sutcliffe.
