dentists

told me there was a 5% chance he couldn't get the tooth out and what happened half roots left in

told me there was a 5% chance of an infection and guess what that's why i have been in agony for a week

so in dentist speak 5 percent = almost certain :roll: which if I had known I would have opted to keep tooth and risk a recurrence of the abscess :sad:

The mess when the decorators are in.

And moving all the furniture.

parades why do councils have to have so many :evil:

gridlocked traffic everywhere so the mayor could parade from town hall to war memorial for about the 10th time this year :roll:

And "Bloomin" running races. Shut all the roads, cause chaos, Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, 5k, midnight walks - it never ends.

What's wrong with running round the park a few times?

Thick back street tyre sellers.

Good mate of mine needed a new tyre for his misses yesterday.

No way he was going to pay Kwikfit prices so he phoned the only back street place open on a Sunday.

They had what he wanted so he set off to get it fitted to her car.

Gets to the garage and the fella comes over very apologetic and says he has been trying to contact him as he didn't in the end have the right tyre.

But the cherry on the cake was when he said to him that he had another one that was slightly bigger if he was interested.

I'm still laughing about that now. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You would be surprised at what is legal.
We had one of our cars go in for an MOT a few weeks back. The garage phoned me to say that there was a bulge in one of the tyres that had been fitted 3 weeks earlier by a different garage. The chap told me that 2 off the tyres were smaller than the other 2 so did I want him to just change the bulging one or both of them. I asked if they should all be the same size and he said that provided the smaller ones were on the same axle and I cant remember if they had to be on the front or rear then it was perfectly ok. I asked him to change them both.

From the boss


When youve see some base ops in action im just shocked they get paid...


2 of ours would be outside having a fag, another would be on HER phone or texting and then theres the google feedback.....


Quote:
Customer service is horrible, I am talking so nicely and they are literally answering or giving info like I shouldnt have called them. Seriously teach your people who answers the phone to speak nicely.



Quote:
Would rate 0 if I could. Asked for a quote and they put the phone down on me. I phoned back and she was very rude and disrespectful and she needs to learn some manners.



Quote:
Don't touch them with a bargepole. Unreliable and rude.
