You cash rich pensioners are screwed mate - long live the revolution!
PS I only found out the tyre was f~cked cos I paid some bloke £20 to change my brake fluid, fit new pads (which fell apart) and sensor.  When I saw the state of it I made him fit the spare and I had new ones on the next day - if I wasn't locked out of photobucket I'd show you a pic. Shocking  :o
