if you can get a bump that'll be nice..... new toy or two 😁😁😁

I was tinkering with this heap of a SEAT that was I used as a 'company car' (what a joke). It was a means to get to work cheap, not worry about theft when left for driving work (through an agency).
Along comes this attractive Polish woman (too old to flick my switch) showing interest in what I was doing and low and behold she appears the next time the car played up and I had the bonnet up.
I mentioned this to my well travelled friend and he suggested that Eastern Europeans held the ability to fix things in higher regard. So I think it's cultural. Here, you're just a bloke who likes getting all oilly and mucky and is therefore both inferior and smelly.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

TDV doesn't give ashit tbh - she's just happy i'm not under her feet/annoying the hound.
costs - what - £100 a month to keep me in tinkering bits n bobs: that's money well spent in her eyes.

You must spend shitloads on bike bits & bobs. Service plans are not cheap.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0 -
Okay, but sweeteners on a deal doesn't necessarily mean free, it's just built in.
You've got a good deal but it's not a fair general point.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I got a load of sweeteners when i bought the Aygo - alloy protection, paint protection, service thing.... generally use to neither man nor beast, to a pickle or a pie, but it made me happy and the salesman happy because he had happy customer so two happy people in this world is a winner in my book.
