  1. I've just been in the local shop and the 20 denier range in smoke tan is $3.50 a leg With regard your question I cant imagine anyone would answer it The only person that does admit to a stocking loan is nick lnc and he gets a preferential low rates,I reckon 3% ?
  2. So to summarise Their feedback has been topped up with good reviews They have no stock for sale They are rude on the phone And their other business is selling hoodies to wanabees
  3. As a trading standards officer I would ask the following Why are you selling these cars this way when you also have a normal sales pitch Why are your full term and conditions not posted on your website Quote-------All Vehicles are sold as seen on trade terms, exactly as they would be at any other auction. The sales invoice will show further info regarding the terms of sale.Every buyer will be asked to read and sign a 'trade sale' invoice upon purchase.------unquote

  5. That might be alright for you but I'm still trying to get used to a touch screen never mind flying airyplane things into customers faces Oops sorry Well at least your other eye is ok
  6. I notice in the later ranges they do a turbo model but I'm keeping mine original,this model doesn't even come with a headlight Looking more for reduced noise,I'm currently experimenting by stuffing my old underpants in the waste bag to see if this has any impact on the decibel levels The handling is quite good but I'm a bit afraid once it ses the concrete floor at work traction may become an issue I might have to resort to poly bushes to keep the motor separate from the meccano drive train Had to put the project on hold, the wife's just told me she needs it for the bedroom carpet
  7. Good point I'm currently in the man shed modifying an old upright Hoover junior,I've got it to move slowly across the floor with an outstanding stick a bit like mat Watson uses in his video but mine has a hook on the end to pass the keys over The problem is one has to shout to get the customer to hear you over the noise of the 700 watt moter and unfortunately this is causing lots of water droplets from my mouth to exceed the current 12 foot limit I will get back to you on this with further modifications
  8. Did you give them the sob story.? This is how I got to the front of the queue A bit like using the walking stick and Zimmer frame to get to the front of the bus queue Thursday mornings so you get the best seat after 9.30am
  9. Here's one for any business The wife has spent the last 4 hours on the phone trying to cancel a contract that comes up for renewal automatically,a bit like the rolling car insurance one where you have to dig deep to untick a box rather than tick a box to be in the club now we are in gdpr land Anyway She couldn't get through even though our call was important So And here's the bit I logged into the pic site and went through to the renewal page but said I had a problem so went on the chat site,a lovely chap asked how he could help and I explained the wife and I were both unemployed and had 4 cats and needed to cancel our policy,he was very humbled and fastracked me to the cancellation dept,I then had to explain that I the wife the 4 cats and now I have a budgie too couldn't afford to renew as we were all non working She had my policy cancelled 30 seconds later So the the message is to any car buyer Be polite And you often will get what you want And be fastracked
  10. Dont check all the lights and tyre depths as it's been pdi,d moted by the toughest garage in the nearest town (listen to the podcast earlier this week with nick,he uses the same mot station rolls Royce use,so customer ,do you honestly believe they are going to pass my Honda for my benefit if there was anything wrong with it) Dont try negotiating on price when the paperwork is being done it's not big and it's not funny
  11. Another very interesting one Cash is always king whether its folding or in da bank Too many people living on other peoples money these days,I look around me and even the window cleaner has a fairly new van a big water browser in the back and a hosepipe,he hasn't even got a ladder Let's hope more simple things come out from this plague Milk deliveries are up,people actually talk to you now in the woods rather than pretending to be on their phones,closed facebook pages accept you because they want new blood,you can walk in the doctors and theres no queue,you dont get jostled in the supermarket,theres no road noise,you can hear the birds,you can get up at 10 So many good things,so many bad things
  12. Just watched the news So money comes before health Who in their right mind is going to get a car s/hand car at this time and happily have it delivered You would have to be mad,you have absolutely no idea where the cars been etc A family member had acar come back from a major bodyshop a year back and it had been used as the works canteen My wife had her car back from the bodyshop last year fully valeted,yes still full of side glass all over the floor in the back seats Theres only one way to fully sanitise a car interior and that's to do it yourself so you know it's done properly Hell I'm even leaving my shoes by the back door after my daily walk to make sure I'm safe Cazoo you are mad
  13. Thank you for those words Next........ It's the door on the left by the way
  14. As much as I like what they are trying to do I'm not a club type person member The only club I'm in is the one that means my beers cheaper I'm afraid
  15. Just had a look to see why you would want to work them You are described as a candidate or a you You there take this car to Bristol.. https://www.adecco.co.uk/candidate-privacy
  16. I've just seen a car in the news where its had a pot of paint poured over it because they thought the owner was an out of towners Well my old steam cleaner would have taken that gloss right out that girl Theres a record there somewhere
  17. Yes but it's a closed shop apparently imda members only So under current restrictions the shutters are down because their words are restricted goods and non essential
  18. Back in the day the quickest way to smarten up the complete interior of a mk2 transit van was open the doors and put the Frank steam cleaner on full power and give it one That would clean any blighter in there, good microbes or bad
  19. I'm not volunteering for anything I'm the wrong age I did try and volunteer to fight the argies at the falkland islands mind
  20. Wow I was basically going to write the same word for word,I even ask the customers to pick through my self inflicted warranty if they feel anything needs changing,they haven't yet and I cant remember a warranty claim this year,I think being polite but firm on your terms pays in the long run,its a 2 way boat,proper customers understand I need to make a living and respect you more and recommend me,when I go back I'm going to start asking for feedback on my Google page. I would like to think more customers read that we aren't out to rob you we are just making a living
  21. Really got to be one of the best ones so far,I've taken note of what Mat Watson had to say and will be exploring his ideas after lunch, so thanks mat it was worth waiting for you The other dudes great,nice to hear that the figures coming in reflect what a lot of us were thinking,I think Thanks again James .
  22. Not a pie man Once stayed in stow on the wild for a few days and went to the world famous fishnchip shop down the hill to the bell and had a pukka pie,I would rather eat lings leg than ever having another one
  23. Hi David I have a very big apology to make I'm listening to the 2 hour pod sat here in the garden,I've heard 59 minutes so far and listening to nick sounds like me,its really brilliant,love your story about the do-wun too So sorry to say it was too long ,please accept my humble apologies BHM was right I should have listened before I opened my pad gob
