I know a mechanic but he’s moved up into the world of doing some sort of engineering lark on oil rigs so he’s basically never here.

I really like Matalan, for home bits and some clothes.

My dad and granddad used to keep racing pigeons.

My dad is a mechanic which has always been super handy until he started charging me for stuff to do with my car when I was about 22.
I asked him why my mum didn’t have to pay and he said he pays her in sexual favours :frowning:

I’ve got a mate who runs a car dealership and he is FUCKING handy when it comes to looking at 2nd hand cars. Just text him the reg plate and if he’s at work 5 minutes later he’ll have screenshotted an entire HPI check.

My girlfriend’s dad’s got a car dealership owner mate, so we end up lugging the car over to Blackpool whenever stuff needs doing just to avoid getting shafted

Yeah, why would he be paying her when he’s doing the work on her car, the daft’un!

They’re the very lads I was looking at. No minimum order either!

I was thinking everyone sacked off getting milk delivered in the 90s/2000s because it was outrageously expensive but… it really isn’t.

It does not, but it does have Veteran of the Psychic Wars, featuring lyrics by Michael Moorcock. It’s boss.

really like don’t fear the reaper actually. was the first song I learned to play by ear.

Supermarket mass distribution, plastic milk bottles and the foil seals meant that it became more practical/affordable for most people to buy when they did their weekly shop.

That, and theft, and the increasingly transitory nature of urban populations.
