Now I think my knees couldn't take the 12ft dash anymore !
RIP Trents Self Service:
Pity you forgot about the service part. I lost track of the number of cars going straight to crushing, even after requesting a stay of execution. But if you forget that the customer pays your wages, one day, your wages will stop being paid !!!

So true Mark, so true.
Its typical of what is happening around our area Mark, we live in a wealthy retirement area. Many services that once was are no longer, Charles Trents in Poole saw a significant reduction in demand for self service DIY parts, hence why the Rugby branch is still open and thriving.
It is most certainly a real pain for us locals, there has been a few times now where I have wanted to pop in and grab a few things, even though MG Rover vehicles rarely made it to the DIY yard as you say, straight to the crusher due to lack of demand.
