Re: MOT
I'm one of those people who didn't Andy
Jeepers don't normally get anything FREE from the government so I'm making the most of it !!!!
Rang my mot this morning for an appt week after next and any time slot avaliable. Not seen a single queue anywhere near me. Don't know what mot station ITV use but I'd steer well clear

Whilst looking at the news can be useful, I guess, I always balance it with walking around and looking at things and asking questions. Reality increasingly seems less and less represented by the news. It's like they are all jostling for website hits and sales of newspapers. Facts and balance is hard to get from them and there's rarely any ccountability for poor journalism.
They're doing well out of it at the moment though, like the boy that cried wolf, they've been sensationalising their scare stories for years, SARS, H5N1 bird flu, Zika virus, milennium bug.. now they can report on how irresponsible people are not taking this one seriously, acting sanctimonious while forgetting they are precisely the cause of millions of people's doubt and mistrust. It's quite depressing really.
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.

Re: MOT
We have a news outlet that likes to print all the sensational bullshit ,and then print the corrections / retractions a day or so later. Its becoming more entertainment than information ......and we are leading up to an election so the shit is neck deep
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh

Re: MOT
As some of you may know, my Capri is currently off the road for a while, so the supposed queues for an MOT aren't an issue for me.
Tragically, what is an issue is that the garage where I take my Capri for it's MOT burned to the ground last week. It must be devastating for the owner as he's lost everything.

No way! Poor fella.Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 10:11 amI'm sure the insurance will cover some of the loss, but it won't compensate for the hours of work he's put in over the last few years building a bespoke sports tourer that was lost in the fire.
