kwik fit rip off!

[THE_Liam]

This is why money is made in the south, not in the North.

There, how's that for patronising?! :p

Fair play I got the terminology wrong, but the principle I got right. You talk about sustainability, you must realise therefore that a business model for an industry like Kwik Fit would not be sustainable if it were run off of 'doing favours' be them financially or otherwise. Somewhere, money has to be made, else the system doesn't work. There's millions to be made extracting money from idiots - look at the football ticket industry.

Where did I say that Kwik Fit should do favours? I said they were a poor business in terms of service, which if they charge £600 for that work, they are.

As another point, people who go to watch football are willing to pay what they pay for entertainment, much like people who go to the theatre or cinema, or myself going to the rugby. That doesn't make any of us idiots, it just means we are happy to pay for that entertainment - there's more spare money floating around up here in the third world north (due to cheap housing and cost of living) for us to do stuff like that to take our minds off a long day in t' financial services mill, or down t' customer service mines, but you guys in the south wouldn't know about that, because your so much more successful at making money  *doffs cap to the passing lord of the manor*

I can do patronising too mate.
