From: Ret. on
Yesterday, not wishing to waste my time watching a football match, I visited
three different dealers wanting information, and possibly a test drive in
their medium sector cars. Renault, Toyota and Vauxhall.

In every dealership the entire sales staff were clustered around a TV
watching football. No-one even looked up, let alone came across to see if
they could help.

Words fail me...

I share your hatred for football, but you could give people a break
here. I know you must be desperate to get shot of the old crate, but I'm
sure another day wouldn't hurt.

That and too many people with over-inflated public-sector pensions and
too much time on their hands. We should be sticking up for those who
make a contribution to the economy to pay for what is, in effect, the
dole by another name and cut them some slack.

"Earning", indeed. Remind us again, how do you get your money?

The injuries I sustained which have caused my present situation came about
whilst serving my country.

Have you ever served your country?
