Laskys  were very very good when we bought the widescreen from them 3 years back .. delivery/install guys chipped the stand by accident .. new one within 4 days and a very nice letter of apology

Sorry I've missed the last couple ... but at this time of year weekends seemed to be spent driving pigging miles to visit folks I don't really want to see .....

Perhaps the quizes will pick up in the New Year when folks have more time ??

reckon he's using this statement to justify his cancellations ..

UK bidders only on this item please. If you have feedback of less than 99% positive your bid will be removed unless you have made contact with me beforehand and provided a checkable UK address and landline number. There are good people using ebay but also some complete fools and frankly we don’t have time for the latter, hence these stipulations.

fine attitude .. NOT

I refuse to use these chains as the muppets they employ have no sense whatsoever ....

My next door neighbour (a very large single woman who knows nothing about motors) had a puncture in a wheel only fitted by Kwik Fit a month previously and the AA breakdown could NOT undo the nuts they were that tight... she was eventually recovered by a "spectacle" lift and on my advice the car was taken to Kwik Fit site and I went to collect her.

I had a lengthy and meaningful discussion with the manager as we watched TWO "mechanics" (??) swing on the end of a 6 foot scaffold pole in order to undo the wheel nuts. After pointing out a few things and talking about local papers/TV/ trading standards he agreed to pay for complete replacement of all 4 wheel hubs etc.. and then got really upset when she .. with a little help from me.... insisted that the work would be done by the VW garage and not by themselves !!

Only sad thing was I never saw the actual bill, it was sent direct to them by the VW people..

I've always wondered exactly what Torque they were done up to....
