    I took my car for its test today, I never saw such a sad looking bunch of people in one place before.
    I've seen happier people at a funeral, maybe NCTS should provide some light entertainment, or a bar, anything just to lighten up the atmosphere.
    By the way mine passed.:D:D:D.

    Absolutely. Maybe if they provided a few strippers or Chinese girls offering "happy ending massages" people would be happier.

    Did you ever see the faces on the grave dodgers that line up every Thursday for the Aldi/Lidl sales?
    Public service pensioners pretending they haven't a bob

    Most people don't want to be there as they think the NCT is a scam, waste of money etc..

    Jeeze, they're going to the Aldi/Lidl sales, not cruising on the Mediterranean.

    The last time I did my NCT I was loaded, I had just been on an all night bender, handed your man the keys went outside for a spliff, I think he was more than happy to get us off his premises and passed it encase someone in the group caused hassle.

    Kudos on driving while drunk and high. Next time drive head on into a wall

    They should provide free WiFi. Costs them nothing and it'll keep the punters anaesthetised calm.

    Can't imagine why you think that's something to boast about.

    NCT office is a dream compared to other government offices/services.
    NCT you book an appointment and show up at that time to be served. Other places you have to wait and wait and wait in a dreary overheated room

    I rang for a booking Monday a week ago. They put me on a waiting list. Someone cancelled, so I got their slot last Sunday. Failed on something minor, changed it out on Sunday afternoon. Retest booked for tomorrow. Always ring and ask to be put on a waiting list for a certain time!

    They should introduce an NCT for High Horses! :D

    I don't dispute how irresponsible that poster is but wishing death/serious injury on anyone is a bit off to say the least.

    Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
    Oak tree you're in my way
    There's too much coke and too much smoke
    Look what's going on inside you

    I seen 2 extremely happy people at the NCT centre the last time I was there.
    The clever f*ckers stopped at the McDonalds Drive Thru on thier way there and chowed down in the waiting room.

    Reel your necks in...... He obviously had a driver.
    He was "loaded", after all.

    Only been there once. Had to sit for nearly an hour waiting, with all the other NCT victims, then I got bored and wandered off. Didn't go back. Don't miss it much either. I think it's overrated.
