I think you are all deliberately goading me to reply on this thread. That will annoy El Baggotte. So I'll stop replying for a while, take my valium and drink my Buckfast in silence.

Well for starters everyone would turn off after 3 minutes because it would throw a tantrum and start swearing when it didn't like the questions Furthermore we want real car dealers on like so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LINGsCARS 24 Posted April 15, 2020 Umesh and Jim are very good people, I've always said that. My argument was never with Jim or Umesh as people (even though I teased them), it was with petitioning the Government when thousands of people were dying.I thought that was bad. I thought the car dealer employers should step up and furlough staff at correct rates (inc comms) rather than bang on at the Gov. After all, the dealers created the low-basic, high-comms structure. (but now it seems they could pay 80% of full total wage all along... we just have to see if firms pay it?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute gent who would go out of his way to help any dealers. Genuine kind clean hearted fellow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparky 274 Posted April 16, 2020 You have to take your hat off to both Jim and Umesh. I mean, they don't have to do what they have done and continue to do. I certainly wouldn't be arsed with it. There are not many in this trade who have my full respect, but these guys do. Just a shame Jim no longer posts on here, maybe now that certain posters (who bizarrely had beef with the IMDA) have rightly been asked to leave Jim could get back on the pitch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
