I found calling the examiner a tit didnt help your prospects of passing. Ifelt I had bags of space and he flinched and I thought it was distracting so I told him. On my next test................

Oh and on the subject of knocks, Id always advocate joining the AA with relay.

I was forced onto it but was quite glad when I was travelling from Manchester to London on the back of a relay wagon after totalling the car on the back of another one.

jonnos tip of the day.... negotiate... negotiate.. and nogotiate.

2 weeks ago i made a big saving !!

AA.. my renewal from came through, and it was going to cost £144.... I phoned them up, and said that i wanted to renew, however thought the price was too high, and a friend of miine was getting a better deal, and i might go and see what the RAC had to offer.... they put me through to customer services where they reduced it to £97. ching ching !!

I phoned virgin to see what savings i could make... i told them my wife had just had a baby, and we were feeling the credit crunch and might need to cancel our package or look at other alternatives as the price was too high and we are moving in a few months.... they again put me through to another department

Eventually after some haggling... I now get medium internet, small tv package ( dont need it ) and free calls on my home phone 24 / 7, and im making a £5 saving a month !!! Plus normally they say you cant cancel in mid contract, just taken out another 12 months contract with a special note allowing us to cancel it at any time !!

New York.... Went to the travel agent to book our trip to new york in december..... managed again to negotiate it down, and because we are going with friends, we both got free insurance dropped in with it

Moral of the story.... nagotiate on everything !!

Waiter.... id like a full english please this morning when your ready... and a cup of tea, two sugars and milk. TA

After my car breaking down at the Burgess Hill event, I rang Direct Line and they told me I had not renewed my policy :sad: but they would tow me home for about £800. After getting my Mum to go through my paper work she found the renewed policy, after about 3 hours they finially sent someone round. In the end I got a refund for the 6 months previous and another 12 months free, but I had to have my car details changed 3 times as they kept changing the Reg, colour and mileage to random things each time they sent the new paper work.

Shame really as I used them once before, within an hour I had been towed to a Garage of my choice and they had a hire car waiting when I arrived.

I got a mate who works in the Virgin Media Customer Services Dept. So im sorted for Virgin Media when i finally move out and get it all. lol. And a mate who works at Orange to get me staff minutes etc.

If anyone has a problem with Virgin or Orange, simply ask for their Staff Emp Number and ask to speak to a team leader.. then that member of staff will do nearly anything for you They get mega scared. lol

oh meant to say though, only do this if the person your speaking to someone who sounds like there reading off a script or ok there good but not major good means there not already a team leader. If you speak to a man who sounds like he knows what hes doing, hes more than likely already a team leader then they turn around and go I am the team leader and then i was like - oooohhh errrr, welll im still not happy. LOL. But you very rarely get a team leader, there lazy sods. lol
