If you were in a position where all your money was tied up in stock have rents and mortgages to pay,probably also have a small hopefully overdraft and some young kiddies at home you might just just be happy to take the govt handout Payback or no payback Jees -

The latest I read was inside information that the govt look at self employed tax records see that you are in a trade unable to work ie car sales and they pay us 80% this is what I expect to keep going It will be Monday before announced or possibly late Friday night Dont pass it on To add all those in the black economy stuffing notes in their pockets are stuffed and good too -
You touch your furlough as you boss says out of the goodness of my heart I'm not going to sack you because the govt are paying most of your wages Of course if you wish to work for Tesco in the meantime no worries When this is all over and you want your job back you will be first in the queue (Insert name of person who said this)

Just put a picture in your head of these people Tracky bottoms Stained t shirt No socks They are on a laptop in their bedroom waiting for their mummy to call them down for tea dont rise to their bait I said the other day I would play these people like an old guitar but having been in this business a long time I know it's better to just ignore and move on Michael

Security I updated my camera system 3 weeks ago because I knew we were going to have to shut My system came from a Chinese British supplier and the system from ebay is really cheap, less than £200 once you add a quality hard drive This is for 8 hardwired cameras,no rubbish wire free ones that are useless in the rain I bought a floureon system and it took 10 minutes to connect it to the free cloud so no further charges I have an old phone at the side of me at home and currently am looking both at the outside of my premises and internally,the night vision on these bullet cameras is absolutely superb I have also bought some smart live plug in wifi plugs connected to some 20 watt smd outside lights, I also bought these 2 weeks ago,I go on the app on my phone and can turn them on and off,they cost£5 each Additionally I have an outside microphone on an ebay extension lead that is placed near to my business entrance so it picks up all sounds these microphones are £3 on ebay and the lead about £6 the power supply is an old modem one12 volt So for £210 I've just watched 2 lads with bikes circle my property and disappear All these articles were bought from ebay and came within 3days Hth

As it stands I can claim £92 a week and are awaiting business rate help I really hope any help is HMRC's driven because this way the cash cowboys of yesterday are screwed -
The parts needed for mot work will soon be unavailable to affix to cars in my opinion I've had the daily emails from eurocarparts telling me they are fully stocked and prepared for every eventuality but this situation is just mind blowing I think within 10 days if we dont have lockdown which I want even though I'm struggling with no govt help a very large monthly bill for property rental (I expanded last year) my isa shares now junk my insurance just renewed and paid in full the govt will have to cancel mots as the staff will soon be self isolating for their own peace of mind Anyone who knows me knows I refuse to take any car in for any work if its filthy and a pig shiti nside ,in these times cleanliness is nearer to my God than bum roll,

Disinfecting PX cars before getting in them
New year revolutions...... replied to David Horgan's topic in General Dealer Chat
I am currently not selling cars but have plans to purchase if I see any I'm interested in so just yesterday I did a risk assessment Basically all cars I will transport in and be mindfull to only touch the minimum in the car to load and unload,I've got facilities in the truck to clean my hands Once unloaded I'm parking them up for 7 days in my compound and writing on the screen when they came in and will keep away from them I might only buy one but just like you cars are some of the dirtiest environs I've ever had to work with in my life Theres no way I would use say public transport at this time and this morning going for my paper it was feet and elbows to open the shop door then home to scrub my hands Call it zealous but I'm not getting any younger -

I've found loads of unused durexes down the back of my old settee ßàso I've started fitting these to the gearnobs of cars prior to a test drive,some smell great like effervescent orange and a couple I have noticed ,I'm keeping for the sports cars as they have extra ridges on them for fast gear changes -

Wow that was pretty sobering reading albeit on a scan and read of the main bits The death certificate changes and the amount of deaths being considered is frankly frightening To those that think it's still the flue in 15th century Britain you would have been seen as witches I'm currently closed watched my premises all day,no one been near no phone calls and all adverts about to cease Frightening times ahead -

Crazily I have a young lady all ready to buy a car off me next week once she passes her test I told her mother she needs to confirm by yesterday she is proceeding with the sale She didn't so I sold her car So looks like I made the right decision then Thanks chris -
What you need to really do is step back from the information and read it again They say you will not be charged for your April advertising and you can refer your March bill for 30 days Tomorrow it looks pretty certain that London and its wider area will go into lockdown so no cars sold,in my local supermarkets everything that can be bought has been it's like locusts have been through just like a plague Autotrader know that unless they keep their pages full they will possibly lose their place as apparently still the place to go first,this is going to cost them 5 to 7 mill,a mere drop in the ocean to appease their shareholders and the city to show what a caring company they are You lot can buy it all you like with your spittle spoons I call it bull t
