I saw some eye watering stuff when I worked there and I caught the twats out when they supposedly serviced my Honda. I was a twat to buy it from them , I should have known better. That’s why I went 40 miles to Cirencester when I bought my Yamaha. So how did you catch them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t want to go all the way to Exeter and then have to go back there for the service cos it’s always pissing down when you have a serviced booked I have to say the salesman Adam was superb, excellent in fact. But the workshops reputation precedes everything else they do. I just thought they probably don’t pay well enough for people to give a shit but the attitude usually comes from the manager who generally sets the tone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there other foods? Does it happen randomly? Does the dark chocolate eating occur with other behaviours (like you don’t care cos you’ve had 5 pints of Guinness)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ripped down the old ceilings in the kitchen & bathroom, and put up new (the guy said) mould resistant plasterboards, and plastered it today.......needs skimming when it's dried.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
