The place is all about profit these days ... share holders & all that. Our 'Christmas bonus' last year was 4 tins of tomato soup & a kiddies smallest selection pack!!

A month or two back we'd made an extra 55 000 tonnes of product .... we were rewarded with a free meal in our canteen  :-X :-X

Maybe it doesn't help that, in Asda, the price difference between Heinz and branston has narrowed significantly recently. Supermarkets are involved in a price war with the Germans, and having the massive buying power that they do, can cut suppliers to the bone.

No MOT tester now available until Friday week. Looks like I'll have to wait another 8 days to get a certificate and new tyres.

Absolutely.

I've just used a mirror and had a feel around the inside of the tyre. They seem fine. It will be interesting to see what the problem was.

Tyres fail an MOT test but are ok to travel (up and down the country, as far as they know) at motorway speeds. You couldn't make it up.

My, Lex Leased Van went for MOT in January.  Kwik-Fit (as demanded by Lex).

2 front tyres, new front disks and pads.... and wait for it.... two new brake light bulbs as they weren't emitting enough lumens!  ;D

Tyres easily had 2.5mm, Discs were changed last service (Vx), so maybe 28k miles ago.  I'll give them the pads (although I didn't see what was removed) and as for the 3yr old original brake-light bulbs????????  ;D ;D ;D
