useless people

you think you work with some useless people?
i took my van back to the depot as i was going on holiday,at the moment i turned up another van pulled in with a broken PAS pipe so i gave my keys to Maggi and asked her to take good care of my baby.
2 days later she gets a nail in a tyre,1 1/2 weeks later my van is sitting in the garage still with the nail still in the tyre,no-one has bothered to get it fixed and i have the discomfort of running around in a piece of french junk today

That happened to me once, it was my fault I didn't change the tyre!

So when I eventually found the jack I noticed it looked the same as the on in my Astra, and it was supposed to lift 3t?

I left a Yamaha RD400 with some "friends" once, whilst I went on holiday. They promptly took turns crashing it. Took me years to figure out how it got damaged!

People seem to have lost the will to work..

Once took a transit pick up in to the garage with a collapsed front wheel bearing.

Whn I say collapsed, I mean loads of neg camber and a growling noise that you could hear in the next town - unless you 'unloaded' the corner by turning in briskly in the direction of the failed bearing at which point it became silent. Fairly classic signs I would have thought.

when I picked it up, they "couldn't find anything wrong" until I took it out and demonstrated it to them. Cue the sheepish grins.

Just to add insult to injury, this garage also repairs all the local authority HGVs and does the taxi plating tests as well.

There is a reason these crackpots go live on islands and don't want electricity or oil/gas etc. They don't want contact with authorities of any kind, and nobody if possible. I see the appeal daily.

We should all club together and buy an island, I'm sure a bunch of people who don't want to talk to each other can leave each other alone...
