 ..... because they can't tell the difference between the pedal in the middle and the pedal on the right. >:D

My Dad's cars have only had the 2 pedals for the past 40 Plus years .... 1 for each foot  :y :y

but then they get you when you get very old. My Dad's (he's 88 next month) insurance for his Chrysler Grand Voyager was around £1500 last year.

Well... this copper has got nearly 100 grand now, so ....

General Car Chat / Re: Fifty quid for a set of tyres.

....

As it only cost £3750 I suppose there was extra money left over for tyres and petrol (lots of it) >:D

You say "only" £3750 ..... but 4 years earlier my parents "only" paid £2200 for their 3 bed semi house  ;)

Drove it to Guildford and back, now got a sore throat from calling many other drivers some unique names. Mostly Merc drivers, obviously, but the odd JLR and the obligatory Pug and Honda idiots.

 :o :o :o ::)
Every other car in these parts are Mercs, and all driven like a noughties bow....

but they're mostly fwd cars & 'bought' on a 4 yr lease  ;)

Lee Mack is very quick witted, when he and David Mitchell get started on each other it's very funny.

Agreed. Polar opposites too .... David is a pretty 'posh' southerner compared to Lee, the rough 4rsed northerner. I'm not sure that David always gets the joke when Lee is taking the p***  ;D ;D

Can't stand Norton but has had some pretty good guests over the years.

You can't grumble about a company and freely work there.

Get it alot from people who took a settlement and left at the start of TCV because of comments on a Faceachebook post and then came back because the settlement ran out and do nothing but complain about how shit it is that they're on a new rather than legacy contract and how shit the company is. ;D

Actually it's as annoying as it is funny but if the company is that bad, either work for a different one or suck it up. Either way take some some responsibility for the choices you make. Simples.

I'm too old to be looking elsewhere for work.
It pays my bills & some.
I work week ends so that I encounter management as little as possible.

And I wasn't grumbling .... just commenting that the powers that be couldn't give a 4x about us (that was an old advert!  ;D ) as shown by their complete lack of participation in our wage negotiations that started at the beginning of the year!

SWMBO buys Asda's own beans ....  ::)

Heinz should give 12 months supply to each employee who has served the company for 5 years or more.

To show just how much they love and care about you. ::)

the powers that be don't give a flying f**k about us.

during Covid, when every day was just another day at work .... no free money for us .... we were given the odd pack of beanz &/or soup as a so called thank you.

BTW, valve stem collets are an invention of Satan...

 ;D ;D
Not sure if you mean when removing or refitting, but if refitting, I ''glue'' them to them end of a screw driver with a dab of grease & stick them to the valve with a dab of grease.
