this genre of TV has been around in britain forever :ermm:
I don't doubt this sort of thing goes on everywhere; it's certainly rife in franchises in the UK.
That Joel Grover is patronising git, isn't he?
And a bit light in the loafers too. :ghey:Quote:

I always liked the quote George Castanza on Seinfeld makes about car repairs:
Quote:
Well, of course they're trying to screw you. What do you think?
That's what they do. They can make up anything. Nobody knows. "By the
way, you need a new Johnson rod in there." "Oh, a Johnson rod. Yeah, well,
you better put one of those on."

The term 'gullible' is perhaps a touch unfair for people getting duped by Jiffy-Lube and Kwik-Fit. If only even half of them would actually do as you or I... if only.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense can and should perform their own oil, antifreeze and spark plug changes. Brake pads or shoes are only a small step from there.
I can change me own shoes thank you!
another reason to do my own work- speaking of which, I need to change my oil this weekend
Changing oil and spark plugs has nothing to do with common sense.:dry:Quote:

Why do you think not?
Changing oil and spark plugs doesn't fall into the "general knowhow" department.Quote:

Changing oil takes no technical knowhow and changing spark plugs is often no more difficult than changing a lightbulb.
No, you're right. There's plenty of people that can't even do that. :(
It may not be hard to do but it is also not common.Quote:

Common sense may involve something like
If a buncha bees are attacking you, don't sit there and try and spray them with a water hose.
Someone died like that recently.
Mechanics always amazed me , my father in-law can re and re a transmission on a Saturday afternoon but calls me over to set up his new remote or fix his computer . :blink:
It's not only mechanics
Oh I know Zed , I just wondered how one could make a tranny out of two fecked ones but can't set his VCR . 12:00 , 12:00 flashing like crazy ....:rolleyes:Quote:
