On my up to Brummie land again on the train, got to check that that the power that has been supplied is in the correct place before we turn up next week with all the counters.

I'm torn.. I can either get the helmet and gloves or the brake discs. My head is saying brakes but my heart is 70% saying helmet and gloves.

My gear is getting old and could do with being replaced though, especially my tatty helmet and holy gloves

Well it is to defend against the frenchies :)

It's for a wall that will link my garage to the driveway and some gates I want to put up.

You can come and do some digging, I'm fed up of it already!

Got chatting to the sale man whilst waiting for my car. Told him I fancied an M3. He took my number and said if he gets one in were going on a test drive (y)

House sale just fell through at the last possible moment (i.e. just before exchanging contracts).

So now got to start all again. Everything is packed as well.

Now I'm not moving into new house I am now sorting my flights to California to visit a supplier.

It's usually done by someone in the chain looking to blackmail someone else into agreeing a last minute discount on the purchase price.

That's exactly what it was. I don't get it though. We will now all be charged solicitor fees. So he'll now have a £500-1000 bill because the chain collapsed

Because 9 times out of 10 it works.

The estate agent my wife works for has a blacklist of people they refuse to deal with because they've pulled this stunt.

Some of the paneling on the bulkhead were they got access to a filter. Broke off 3 brackets and left the cowl dangling on 1 bracket. Not the end of the world I know but it's the constant problems and total lack of any respect for customers property or any QA/QC I find annoying.

Had the general manager and service manager lined up for a bollocking when I got there. It will be sorted but thats not the point they should take more care or if the do accidentally cause damage report it to the customer. It's the fact it was left for me to discover again, that I find annoying and creates a lack of trust with the dealer.
