What's happened is they've called their parts suppliers & ordered the service parts by giving them your reg number unknowing at the time you had a K&N fitted. Mechanic hasn't informed anyone that the filter was not needed when he did the service, automated billing system has charged for the filter. Innocent mistake.
Well actually money is incredibly easy to earn because that's what's used to pay people with. In fact it's so easy to earn I can't think of one proper job where you'd earn anything else. If the average wage was, for example, 387 brass watering cans a week there simply wouldn't be enough brass watering cans to go around, society would crumble & we'd all die.
Therefore I'd argue that money is extremely easy to earn while most other things, including brass watering cans, are in fact hard to earn.

Go and get it. Money isn't easy to earn. No point pissing it away for literally nothing.

Can someone explain the frozen sausages to me please? I've seen it a few times but don't get it.
2 seconds on Google produced this... next time, why don't you try Google?Big bag of frozen sausages from Asda. Other supermarkets are available but you're up north.
Hammer them into his lawn vertically.
Wait until thawed, and every bird/badger/hedgehog/dog/fox in the area has ripped his lawn a new one.
If it's a big enough lawn, words can be formed in Ardennes style trenches

It's my understanding that you hammer said sausages into your lawn, release your/neighbours dog into garden and as its attention is on the sausages stuck in the lawn you bugger the poor sod from behind. HTHYears ago, my GTE 16v went in for a service and they charged me £2 for some air freshener granules they used to pour in the ashtray. I made them repay that. Less than a month later, it failed the MOT on emissions and I got the MOT fee back off them too as it must have been a sh*t service.
This is why I now only use one garage I know I can trust and b*ll*cks to manufacturer service histories.

Yes I would, VW charge me for screen wash every time I have a service done on my cars.
I have always made sure the reservoir is full before taking them for service , but they still charge for screen wash topping up .
I have five bottles of screen wash in the shed.
Stupid.
Audi do the same with bottles of oil. I've got 3 bottles in the boot now. Always forget to get it knocked off the invoice!I have always made sure the reservoir is full before taking them for service , but they still charge for screen wash topping up .

I do wonder how some people manage to make it through the day? There is only one answer, and that is to politely question the bill.
Unbelievable.
Isn't it? And some of the responses, confrontational, aggressive with it, get trading standards onto them etc.Unbelievable.
Simple mistake, go get your tenner, the end.

I think we need to get Mythbusters onto this one. Firstly, can you hammer a frozen sausage without it shattering and secondly, do hedgehogs eat raw thawed out sausages buried six inches into someone lawn??
Mythbusters? We just need to wait till somebody parks 2'' further away from the kerb than they should in a cul-de-sac and a vigilante PH group forms (with before and after pictures)
