years a go ipaid a roofer to take all the slates off a house, put new laths and felt down and then put the dslates back.

he employed to lads to strip the roof and they threw them all down into the skip below and smashed the lot! he ended up doing the roof for less than nothing

Is it envy, jealousy or self importance forcing people to pronounce theirs is best?
I have got a Terrano, but I am pretty confident there are many better vehicles of many makes that are better than my rusting pile of scrap. Only difference is this one is mine and I do happen to like it, doesn't make it better than someone else's car.
If someone has a Rolls Royce or a Reliant Robin I'm not going to pick faults with their car. It's pretty rude really, and certainly unnecessary.

Hear hear! My other car (apart from the T2) is a Honda Jazz - I get all the jokes like "It's an old f**rts car" and "Where's your pipe & slippers" but it's a great little car, it does what it says on the tin and I like it!
