Correct, there is nothing there at all, simply an oversensitive soul

That depends upon the individual’s powers of perception Nick, and an appreciation of MarinaBrian’s tactics which I have thanks to him targeting me for the past four months. When it’s your turn, you too will gain a deeper understanding.

This is the post of yours (20.08.18) which I remembered:

The “multi-million pound” comment is hyperbole which was inspired by your word “large” to illustrate the high opinion you have of yourself.

Simon
Four months Simon , I thought it only took you three months to dither your way through a KV6 belt change, during which you spent most of your time criticising everyone from the manufacturer of the engine for stipulating belt changes on a time and mileage basis, or anyone else who had carried out this task before in a timely fashion, as it simply isn't possible to carry this task out commercially without making grave errors, or worse not making reference to both RAVE and INA technical data

Meanwhile back on thread, advisories can be a useful tool, as it is very easy to miss something while checking your car prior to presenting your car for test, and having a second pair of eyes look at it is no bad thing, and contrary to Simon's opinion not every single MOT tester is cynically inventing defects in order to drum up business

Brian

P.S. I would have been much more impressed if you had included the phrase "locked horns" somewhere in your description of the perceived "vendetta" you believe I have against you Simon

Gah, how can I possibly hope to compete with that statement

You too are going to go into the little book

Hopefully, Mac61 has got enough advice, professional and other to work out what his next step is. Mods, may I suggest that we close additions to this thread before people start to think we are the Victor Meldrew club? I hate it when the things that bring us together start driving us apart.

Problem with closing threads Andrew, is it is seen rightly or wrongly as censorship

I would have thought that the recent spate of closed threads would prove that it isn't an effective tool when used too liberally.

Anyway, talking of Victor Meldrew, what do you make of the closure of Hartside?

On the contrary, this thread and other similar threads should be made stickies for all and sundry, and their allies/supporters, to ridicule each other.

We can demonstrate that no longer are Rover drivers representing the elite of society in terms of class, etiquette, fairness and intelligence. Rover drivers, as demonstrated by the membership, now represent the broad spectrum of society. There is no differentiation or discrimination on the basis of the elusive aforementioned values.
