Another Moan While I'm On a Roll

Just took the MG to the local scrapper. I took a torque wrench & socket to remove the wheels once there.
No you can't remove the wheels, it's against elf & shaft you. Then he says he's gotta charge me £2.50 for each wheel, because they have tyres attached (how the else am I gonna tow it there?)
I wanted to remove them, because I wanted to sell them on. I could've easily have made £100.00 on them selling them on.
So I made £72.90 - £10.00- £100.00 FFS.
I came out with £62.90 credited to my account.

Thank you Health & safety, yet again you've shafted someone.
I aint happy.
