Is this the sarcasm thread?

If it is, I missed it.

your just too clever for us dusty

More sarcasm

Well here's another good piece of advice.

If your taxi breaks down and you can't fix it yourself, then take it to a garage.

Now never say that I'm unhelpful

Well, dear dusty, I apologise for having moved to the UK quite recently, and not being familiar with Halford's. There is no need to be rude or condescending as you just were. Now a piece of advice for you: if you can't contribute anything of value to my question, just don't hit the "submit" button.

My guess is that the chap is from Austria too.

Well it looks like we can both be rude and condescending then?

Can I advise you follow some basic netiquette, namely that on such forums you have a look around and get a feel for the character and ethos before posting? To that extent you would have realised that by the standards on here I'm not rude and condescending at all, in fact I'm easily one of the most civil on here.

Also, surely since this is a 'UK cab trade' forum it might have been better to disclose the fact that you had just moved to the UK?

On seeing your username I assumed that you were quite possibly based overseas, but your response to grandad's initial point about Halfords obviously implied that you were in fact in the UK. But to that extent your response seemed rather odd and I could only assume that you were being sarcastic.

Likewise, Blackpool's rather obvious response to that lent the impression that there was at least a touch of sarcasm in the exchanges.

I then made a light-hearted comment in that regard, but in fact it was your own response that seemed rather terse, and your latest response seems to confirm that.

Anyway, I'm not one to cause gratuitous offence, and to that extent apologise for the tongue-in-cheek manner of my comments, and to that extent as with any other poster I will tailor any future exchanges with yourself in a manner that you will hopefully find more palatable.
