Tight-fistedness seems to be a national sport now.

I got 5 take offs from a brand  new jimny. Done about 500 miles and bridgestone OE tyres. Got them for 48 quid for all of them.  Bargain yeah? 

It was a bit of a drive away but still made them a bargain. Made a day out off it with my better half , it was pissing down and  5mins out of the car my she slipped on a step and twisted her ankle 2 years later she suffers with an ache on that foot is and about to have it operated on. 

Worth it , it was not.

Readin dat says  Front an rear discs and pads £60 which ain't bad with 90%(?) of use left.

Because the first 10% of use drove them to go buy a decent brand?

In the early 90's I needed a set of pads for an SD1 I was running,  something cheap to squeeze the last bit of life out of the discs that were just about serviceable. Via a friend in what was Camberley Auto Factors using his staff discount I was presented with a set of Jurid pads for £4, that was cheap even back then. They worked OK, a bit lacking in feel and uninspiring bite but the brakes were not great to start with. Then I tried stopping from high speed, wet bicycle brake blocks would have been better! I'm sure they were made from recycled cardboard.

Made some jam from the golden raspberries we got from the garden this year.  Really easy to do, and tastes fantastic.  First time I've made jam in absolutely ages.

In the west where we holiday, slowies usually move to the shoulder to let MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE TO BE SURE pass. Though they may just be faster, or sober, drivers.
