Sorry Bionic, did not mean to upset anybody with been personal, unfortunately in my experience, cars do change people. I can remember a Walt Disney cartoon about cars made in the 1950s. The character, Goofy, known as Mr Walker comes out of his house all placid and pious, picks a worm up off the tarmac and puts it back in the soil. He then gets in his car and becomes possessed by the devil and becomes Mr Wheeler. Selfish, evil madman behind the wheel. absolutely hilarious but so true.
My job is to Mot and repair cars, take money off the customer, pay the overheads and what remains is for us doing the work. A car is a persons 2nd biggest investment/cost after their home and we work with that in mind. Some customers have little money and are decent folk. Others have a lot of money and are decent folk, but some folk have a car above their station and they become difficult folk.
After dealing with members of the car mad society, there is nothing better for me than pratting around in my field, feeding birds, introducing wild plants and trees, growing a crop and DRIVING at 10 MPH on my ol' David Brown Tractor on a road at five o'clock rush hour
