I remember a decade or so ago, going to view a Seat Ibiza, which someone had advertised on our work intranet. I was working in Peterborough at the time, and I had to drive to Boston, Lincs to view the car (and then back to St Ives, Cambs when I was living at the time).
I turned up on time and viewed the car, which didn’t start. (It was a diesel and apparently there’s something in a diesel that sometimes causes them not to start if they’re not warmed up properly. I dunno, take it to the ‘talk about a subject you know nothing about’ thread, CCB).
Anyway, I was a bit disappointed as I’d travelled a fair way with every intention of buying the car. But I messaged him the next day saying that I was going to look elsewhere as the car didn’t start.
A few days later, the car was readvertised on the work intranet with “NO TIMEWASTERS” in block capitals. Well, fuck him, if anyone should be writing that in block capitals, it’s me.
