I used them for my bmw, which they say did the same. Not costing me a penny, so if I get a tenner in the post, it's better than nothing.

Yeah but the owner didn't lose out as they got the tax for the claimed lower emissions.

Yeah, but I mentioned it as it annoyed Greta and her trolls.

How can you be so naïve, all these claimants, sorry, motorists are staunch environmentalists and are absolutely disgusted that they were tricked into their "green"* purchase as it didn't destroy the universe and therefore need compensating so they can fly off to a foreign country and console themselves on their all inclusive holiday.

* Or it could be the US claim culture continuing it's relentless drive across here

Weirdly, I fell over at 5am in the morning on an icy Shell petrol station forecourt, near my home in the US.

My own fault as I was wearing ‘dress shoes’ (flat bottomed - no grip shoes). Called the wife (Doctor) and told her I had fallen and thought I had broken my arm. She said I probably hadn’t and what made me think I had?
Probably because it’s got a 45 degree bend about 5 inches down from my wrist…

Had it plated and pinned.

The garage lawyer called me and asked me what I wanted. Stupidly I said what do you mean? He asked what compensation I wanted for the accident. I said I wouldn’t mind if he just wanted to pay the excess on my medical bill, which he immediately agreed to (recorded phone call too!).

Honestly, I wouldn’t have cared if they hadn’t. It just seems wrong to get someone to pay out for my own stupidity.

The VW thing is about deception. Just imagine if you could sue the government for telling lies… it WAS a party and because of that, it spread Covid further and I might not have caught it (among many other whoppers I’m sure they’ve told - note and it’s not just the bloody Conservatives either. Labour we a bunch of shift bastards too!)

And how did Mitsubishi get away with ‘inflate-gate’ where they over inflated the car tyres to reduce the rolling resistance and get better mpg figures…

We've a bloke at work who slipped on ice as he's too stupid to look where he's walking, the wanker claimed about £5k for being a dozey cunt.

It's utterly wrong that people can do that.

I'll correct it before Branders does.
