Natwest rewards, advert is doing my head in now, it takes 4 days for the money to transfer to your account, so how he can stand outside the shop and then spend the money?
Probably like all the old iPhone "there's an app for that" adverts, that had "Sequences shortened" across the bottom in small print.wayned212 said:

Plus like you will be able to save enough to buy a moped, they are clever in that they only pay out on certain suppliers.

head that says "I haven't got time for breakfast" I'm too busy sleeping in my clothes - then rocks up to a full breakfast meeting and actually has to push a croissant away as he gives it the corporate "lets go" bullst as everyone around him is clearly eating.
Maybe if you turned up on time you could eat with everyone else?
All it promotes is laziness.

40?? Really?? How the heck do you find 40 different things to check for brake safety? Or do they mean 10 per corner? All aimed at non-petrolheads to make them feel uneasy.

And how many cars will get an all clear and how many will have 'some fault' that has to be repaired immediately - "It's brakes and safety - don't want to risk that mate"
and/or other scare mongering tactics on the uneducated.

All my servicing and repairs are done by a local garage I've used for years. They know me, and I trust them - it's a sort of mutual benefit society. They never try to con me, and in return I continue to use them. If my pads are half-worn, they tell me this, and allow me to act like an adult and decide for myself.
They're actually Kia dealers, but I don't hold that against them.

Yep can't stand this either. I'm nearing 50 but have never seen a boy like this at a "Board " meeting. head that says "I haven't got time for breakfast" I'm too busy sleeping in my clothes - then rocks up to a full breakfast meeting and actually has to push a croissant away as he gives it the corporate "lets go" bullst as everyone around him is clearly eating.Maybe if you turned up on time you could eat with everyone else?

The thing that annoyed me most is who it seems to be aimed at. Clearly the just out of university fresh faced yet disorganised and useless interns that want to get up at the last possible second yet somehow are still ferociously ambitious despite earning just £100 and seemingly fine to spend £2 on breakfast bottled shead that says "I haven't got time for breakfast" I'm too busy sleeping in my clothes - then rocks up to a full breakfast meeting and actually has to push a croissant away as he gives it the corporate "lets go" bullst as everyone around him is clearly eating.Maybe if you turned up on time you could eat with everyone else?

They diagnosed issues with front and rear brakes. I told them to do the rear but leave the front because they were fine (I'd changed the pads and checked the discs about a month ago).
After the work the noise was still there. They told be it was because I hadn't had the front discs changed (at £300!), even though the noise was from the rear.
I told them I had checked the discs myself and they were not worn or scored, so what was the problem. Rust was their answer. Not in the faces, but on the edges and this was causing the noise! Rust no unprotected cast iron...I'm shocked!
After a very heated discussion I left. The next day I jacked the car up myself and diagnosed a fecked wheel bearing in about 20 seconds.
