Reliable Garage/Mechanic


Maribelle

Recommended Posts

After tying a few different garages, I've settled on Peacock & Sons on Chadwick Road as being straight dealing with good work done, and all round good blokes. Used them for unbending a bumper, a couple of services, some lights, and when I wanted to borrow some jump leads they popped round and started the motor for me.


I asked them to have a windscreen guy round for me at the same time as my MoT. Windscreen guy wanted them to ring me to say there was a risk of breakage which would cost me ?200 more: "Mate, I don't know if this fella is just giving fair warning or if he's angling for the extra ?200, but I shall be standing over him every minute and watching him like a bloody hawk" ? clearly spoken at a distance of about 2 feet from the windscreen guy. There was breakage that day :)

    • So glad to know, some places sell decent food.. not just dumped in microwave to be reheated and to be charged a premium in pricing..  
    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.
