"Maintained regardless of cost" "Well looked after - Needs nothing" "Really nice condition". Surprised I did not buy it - Well mate the 3 bold tyres / Smashed rear arch ( Pictured in the advert not to show it ) / Bumper flapping about on 50% of the clips it needs and random shredded wires hanging underneath should be a clue! Bugger! I expect the advert will soon be relisted with the phrase "re-advertised due to timewasters" as a bonus little stab at you for them! myglaren, twosmoke300 and carburettor 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markeh Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 My new Qashqai does away with the CD player and also surprisingly the 3.5mm aux in! Nuisance if someone else wants to play music in the car, as I don't want their phone connected via BT/CarPlay/AA.

Given that none of you were actually driving, I really don't see how you can comment. A video doesn't ever give the full story. If the OP says it was close.. you know, the person who was actually driving and actually there, then surely you should believe them rather than looking like youtube commenters from about 2010.

jakebullet Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Observe this photo. How much are the hot cross buns? If your answer is 2 for £2 then you are WRONG! The traditional ones that are somewhere else in the shop and not on the entrance display are 2 for £2. Displayed ones are full price with no multibuy offer.

My local Booths are sods for doing this...every week, we get overcharged because of some crap POS. To be fair though, they always honour their mistakes, unlike Tesco who would fight tooth and nail to get that extra 20p out of you, hence my studiously avoiding Tesco and all their subsidiaries for several years now.

Guessing we was number 300 of the day to ask. She was delighted* when we came back 5 minutes later with reduced cheese charged at full price. We wasn't super impressed last cafe visit when person on the till is wearing a lanyard saying "I have autism and may be slow. Please be patient". Not a nice way to treat your staff at all.

Dick Longbridge Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Dickhead mower fella who cuts the grass of the neighbour has strimmed right next to the MR2 again. The car is plastered in grass from the strimmer head - all along the side, on the windscreen and even on the roof. He's clearly not held back. The neighbour's garden runs alongside one edge of our driveway and I've had polite chats in the past about not using a strimmer right next to my car. A mower would do the job fine and wouldn't spray the side of my car with shit. It seems to be listened to for a while then forgotten again. Unfortunately I'm now at work when the bloke visits so won't be able to catch him face to face. Note in the car window I guess? I'm thinking something along the lines of 'Don't use a strimmer next to my car you daft twat'. Bloody annoying, either way. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the neighbour for his name and address because you are looking for a gardener, then send him a bill for a valet. Say £20.

AnnoyingPentium Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Fabia's electrics are less than Fab once again. Keeps cutting out at idle, usually when steering. Thinking dicky battery (although recording a voltage that's correct and charging okay) or dicky alternator... maybe. Parts darts here we goooooo.

I've looked again and he's clearly been a proper prick - a load of grass cuttings are sat along the full length of the garage door lower edge where a leaf blower has blown them across. It's bizarre really as last season he was behaving himself and took on board my previous comments about not being a dick.
