Getting 3 tyres for the price of two for the Skoda after the tyre fitters fitted the wrong size almost a year ago!
£70 for three tyres!

Shit, I thought it felt different...
How silly do you think I am? We got 2 new rears in Jan but I only noticed today (I went to check the sizes as we needed 2 fronts) that one was a 165 and the other a 155. Bloody cowboys.
Couldn't believe that they didn't even question it though and just replaced it for free when I asked them to! It had done about 12,000 miles too!

It probably was a 165 but Kate has kerbed it so much it's a 155 now!

Not so much smile, but 
Stepping out of the shower to answer a Skype call from my Aunt.
Sadly I answered the call as a video call. It has been a long time since she saw me neked!  |
