Called in a garage y/day to drop off some stuff to be sprayed and started chatting to the boss about how cars and owners used to be . Spoke of the peeing in the rad to get us to a farm for a gallon of water . A pal on his 1st date with his now wife told her to whip her tights off , his fan belt had snapped . Also people putting eggs in the radiator instead of Radweld. The garage owner told me how his pal had a Reliant 3 wheeler and the gear box was noisey so he popped a packet of Cadburys Smash ( dried mashed potato powder ) in . Said it did the job great . Speaking to
Jnr last night she is unable to get her head around our fathers and grand fathers generation , thinks everyone just phoned the garage in those days and dropped it off for a service every year and the cars of yester years never broke down .
