    That's London for you, mate.

    Most garages up here will do it for nowt out of goodwill. I usually just slip the bloke a tenner and say 'get yerssen a drink'.

    Well this is just a geezer with a lockup. He's authorised by Mazda mind, so he probably just adds on whatever he wants.</p>

    Next time, I'm driving it into the river.</p>

    Well, its not so straight forward for me. It was my Dad's car and he passed awaya few years back- if I sold it with no brakes i'd have had to let it go for sod all.</p>

    But, nowits fixed up, it's getting sold in a few months time and no messing!</p>

    Have you noticed how many garages, when you have taken the car in for a service always ask you to call for it at 5pm.

    Employ lateral thinking!!!!!

    Hire the services of a "lady of dubious morals" for a couple of hundred to pay the debt "in kind" while she collects the car for you!!!!!
