@zwilnik will tell you Citroen have done themselves no favours at all with their recalls. Seems they're happy to tell you not to drive their vehicles but any expenses e.g. hiring a car are refused to be met.

Quote from: Trainfish on July 07, 2025, 01:43:11 PMI may have to reassess after visiting the bum doctor on Thursday.

That reminds me...

A few years ago I had a couple of operations to straighten out some toes. Mrs Papyrus asked the consultant if he did anything else apart from feet.

"No, just feet," he says.

"Why feet?"

"Well, it's better than bums..."

Anyway, back to the matter in hand. Just come back from the opticians where I saw a lovely lady called Rachna, may peace and blessings rain down upon her. She couldn't understand why the glasses weren't correcting the double vision, but every test she tried seemed to indicate it wasn't astigmatism. I had been told I had incipient cataracts but they weren't bad enough to operate on, but she thinks they were mimicking the effect of astigmatism. So she has referred me for surgery. Better still, I am OK to drive with my present glasses. Huzzah! There'll be dancing on the streets tonight.  :claphappy:  :claphappy:

Cheers,

Chris

Hi

My car was due at the dealers for a recall today. They even checked whether I was still going yesterday. Drove the 30+ miles this morning to be told the recall is now no longer applicable to my car, they'd only been notified this morning.

Half days holiday wasted.

Cheers

Paul

Quote from: Newportnobby on July 06, 2025, 12:01:57 PMI watched that this morning and agree. Despite Ozzy being 'on the throne' for the performance I thought he did pretty well, vocals wise. Bill Ward did put me off my brekkie when he took his top off, mind :sick2:
I was amazed at how far folk had travelled to be there, like from Indonesia!!

P.S. No animals/mammals/birds were hurt in the making of this gig :D
I note that ELO bow out next weekend also, another excellent son of Birmingham.

Quote from: Bealman on Yesterday at 11:18:15 AMThat's crap. Makes me more content I didn't fill the tank up when I took the rental car back in 23.

Serves 'em right. If I recall they gave you the wrong car anyway
