    and am sure they thought ehup will make a bit of extra cash out of her
    as they told her
    her discs and pads were very worn
    this is the price they were going to charge

    pads ?35.99 for a set :: ::
    discs 39.74 each :: ::

    and he even said i wont charge for labour ( i bet you wont mate with those prices)

    i went to a.e. cooks today discs :- ?9.99 each
    pads ?11.99 for a set of 4
    we did the job in half an hour

    i dont know which is worse.
    some one stealing your car/wallet etc
    or
    these people who rob you blind for extra money
    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright
    until you hear them speak.
