kwik fit

[woodie]

where to put this?

just to say ive just had a tyre refit at kwik at dog kennel hill.nice bunch of guys. however, aack! my card failed to cough up the amount. embarrasing. so my partner decided to drop in and pay for it I walk the kids home. My bank would not let me take 20 quid over my limit, even when told as was..the two small children with no coats will have to walk aboout an hour to get home. after 30 years with that bank i 8 them. So i went back to the counter and told mr kwiky that my partner would pick up the car before 6. he said' how much are you short?' i told him 20 quid but not to worry we'll get home ok.

quote "dont like to see people in trouble if i drop 20 quid will your card work?" it did.

what they dont know is Im between payments gasping as i always do, 3 weeks and paid again. suprise coming their way.

Don't understand your last sentence though...

It means self employed

So perhaps for once an advertising slogan has a ring of truth.

'You can't get better than a Kwik Fit fitter'

Well done that man.

I would have got a woodie if Kwik Fit had treated me that well!

busted, i thought it was an american expression no one would get.

i think what clinched it was, i was fascinated with how they balance the wheels.(didnt knw they did)i could also see that noway could they remove tyres without all that heavy grade machinary.so i was pain in ass client who asked a few questions about tyre changing, that to me was 'news'. so, when id taken receipt in , well before payment time I'd commented "nice team you have there". manager (guy who discounted me) cheerily had said "them?" "buncha..." "actually no, we all get on here there good fun to work with".

Really rare.

I think that's flipping great. Top shelf.
