Phoned the Council up yesterday to complain about the standards of their testing, I got invited down to the depot where I met the Manager of the testing station, he asked me what my concerns were with regards to testing? I started off with, "how can you pass a vehicle that hasn't had it's link bars attached to the vehicle?" How can you pass a car with a defective steering rack? How can you pass a car that has loose calipers? How can you pass a car that's got fumes coming into the cabin area?

By the time I'd finished with him he was having kittens and his face was like a volcano ready for erupting.

Something needs to be done about the standards of testing at the depot.

Power to the people!

All complaints must be investigated, and why involve corrupted union officials?
