Crappage scheme on 'the one show'


Recommended Posts

Posted

turned it on by accident yesterday midway through some report on the Crappage scheme, didnt see it all so no idea what it was about - anyone catch it?I did though endure that Irish bird, the bald git 'Dom' and Tony Baldrick Robinson harp on about how 'good for everyone' the crappage scheme was. what the **** do they know???!!!!. I felt like throwing my tea at the TV in disgust.

Nope.....the one show on it's own is enough to make my blood boil, i'm glad i didn't see them harping on about my least favourite subject to boot.

I did happen to catch it. Robinson, and that twatting fuckface no-nothing voice-of-the-BNP Dom Littlewood (how the fuck is that man still alive, let alone employed in television) singing it's praises.

 

It made me incredible angry. So angry that I went into the garden and 'scrappaged' all my blackadder videos and swore that I would never watch time team again.

 

18.00 - 19.00 Time Team

Sunday evening archaelogy-fest (3/9, R)

Tony and the team dig up some old shit. Lanky-haired wierdo Phil unearths a priceless piece of Roman pottery, which Tony promptly smashes to bits with a hammer and replaces with a £1.99 square white plate from Ikea. The world is now a better place. Next week, Professor Mick Aston and the hippy girl who does the digging finally get their funk on...

tongue in cheek it maybe but your mock 'Radio Times' bit about Time team is spot on.

 

From someone like Baldrick - who has made a career over the past 15 years about preserving historic stuff, I at least expected a better response to this abysmal scheme than the basic 'its been brilliant for everyone' speech.

 

what about classic and historic car fans?, you small bald Mr Bean sidekick!

massively off-topic but....apparantly Baldrick is a right moody git too, he told two people i know to 'fuck off' when they said Hi....thats two seperate occaisions. twat.my housemates went to a fancy dress party as Mick and Phil a couple of years back, that was a bit odd. the theme was 'what did you want to be when you grew up'. I went as Captain Beefheart.

The main point about the scrappage scheme raised on the one show was that a guy had put his old brief up for scrappage and then 3 weeks later it was written off in a tail-end accident. The scrappage dealer said that it was no longer elegible - but it was as it still had MOT, tax and insurance and hence the punter got ripped off.

ive no sympathy at all for anyone using this tax funded con of a scheme.

The dealer was correct, vehicles with a write-off marker can't go through.

Well yes, but was he expecting to claim on the insurance ans still expect to get his 2 grand blood money for it?

Yawn. I can see why scrappage threads get locked on Retro Rides.

Hang on, Isn't that twat Littlewood the same bloke who does that show on sky where they buy a crashed car and repair it cheap whilst telling everyone what a great way to save money it is and not to buy new cars?.

I watched this , how the fuck could the dealer refuse the car when its been written off when they scrap it anyway , theres a clause in the sceme anyway that covers this , the dealer was wrong

If the owner has already claimed on their insurance and the car has been certified as Cat B or whatever then it can't be traded in against scrappage. Thats the way the scheme works AFAIK. Plus, if a car is put onto Cat B / C / whatever, does the MOT not become invalid at that point anyway? If the cars been written of and presumably the owner paid out byu his insurance then expecting to be able to trade it in as well seems like trying to have your cake, someone elses cake as well and then eating it.

Have to say, whilst the scrappage scheme is totally wrong in so many ways, I'm getting fed up of hearing about it...

Exactly. At least we get free speech here.....

He also did a programme where he demonstrated how to break into houses.

^ He always look and comes across as rather untrustworthy to me. The show where he was buying write offs and then repairing them was interesting in so far as it was almost a guide on how not to do it. Buy somethingt with A LOT of damage and then repair it using parts sourced from the cheapest place possible rather than buy something written off with minor, cosmetic damage and repairr it properly so it would still be an acceptable and safe form of transport. But then thats not as good TV is it.

Always a good career move, they say crime is a growth industry in a recession

I know it's a repost, but it always cheers me up.

Ace 8) At the party - did the camel wear a nightie?

A friend of mine did the 'scrappage'. After I enquired about what would happen if she crashed it or whatever I am sure she said that after the specific papers had been signed if she had an accident while waiting for her new car that it would still go through?Maybe she was duped or slightly mis-understood.

I would imagine that if you crashed the car whilst waiting for your new one, then you wouldn't be able to have it written off AND scrappage it - if it gets written off it becomes property of the insurance company, and it'd be like scrappaging it and then flogging it on eBay. It's no longer yours.I believe the car also has to be 'roadworthy' and not just 'MoTed', if it's been shunted it's unlikely to be roadworthy. Does seem a bit of a stupid argument to be having, put it down to bad luck and move on.

Dominic Littleknob, the shaven headed thug as a TV presenter? For fucks sake!! :roll: The very idea is laughable - even less credibility than Ross Kemp.
