Something to consider for those who give mechanics parts to fit as a money saver
Especially if they're not getting much off RRP, when I worked in a factors there was loads of numpties (turn up twice a year buying an oil filter etc proclaiming they "get trade" ) we gave a tiny amount off RRP who thought they were getting trade discount.0 -

I always get my mechanic to buy my parts unless they need to be sourced from scrap/cars being broken, then we take the view that whichever of us gets it is fine
His trade discount is massive compared to what I'd pay retail.
He's also very good in that he passes on the trade discount and doesn't mark up on it.0 -

....same in my work: construction. You see people running off buying lights and kitchens units etc at supply-only prices (23%) and thinking the resultant separate cost of labour makes the whole job cheaper. When, in fact, if they let the builder supply & fit the product it would have been 13.5% on the whole sum.Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
