She wouldn't be able to do anything about moving a parked, locked car with no keys would she?

Surely a man of the cloth could draw up some penance for the total lack of graciousness with which it was returned to you. Between you and me, I think it was a shameful lack of respect for both your generosity, and your wife’s. Sorry Jules, I just can not understand it, sad really.

The only good thing on it Has a sound engine.


Rev.
Has it got a walnut gear knob that you would like to sell?

Mmmm, respect.

May I ask how old he is?
I have a step son who I let him borrow my tools because his car had broke down and he needed to get it sorted to get him to work the following day.
Now fair dues to him, it was pouring with rain, and him and his mate both worked hard to get the job done.

But, he left my tools and tool box swimming in water.
Two weeks later I came to use them and both my ratchet handles were seized up. Rust on everything.

I flipped my lid. My ratchets were Facom. Both ruined.
"Well it was raining" is the reply I got.
"Well chuffin' well dry them!" was my reply.

I'm still waiting 2 years later for replacement ratchets off him.

No respect. Not the way I brought him up, but sadly the attitude of the younger generation.
