    Had any recently?

    Whilst selling a car this week I was asked how it's 2 litre engine compared on fuel consumption to other 2 litre engined cars - How in all of the world would I know, I haven't driven most of them and I'm not really one for driving in double figure MPG anyway
    You may think I'm being helpful yet sarcastic, this is only because I feel I need to help you to help yourself in the future

    whilst working as a vw assistance technician, i was on a call out to top up someones oil, and they asked me what the snowflake symbol was in the glovebox on their passat. rather than explain, i started the car, switched the aircon on and showed them. oh, thats good he said, but why? and this chap had Dr at the front of his name.

    When I was at school a number of years ago (I was 17 at the time), a classmate asked my science teacher if he "had any liquid gas".

    A friend of ours recently asked a gay couple who are also friends of ours if homosexuality was hereditary.

    She's a radiographer at the local hospital.

    Won't be going there anytime soon!

    this one time, in vw assistance, i got called out to a very worried owner with a new 04 beetle. he was concerned about a blue flashing light on his dash board, and asked me what it meant. pillock. i actually sat down with him and got him to find it in the manual.

    Last night, when wifey's sister explained that their mum and dad had stupidly fitted a black bar across the back door so that burglars couldn't get in.

    Then wifey asks, "on the outside of the door or the inside?"

    She is blonde.

    Out of interest what is the blue flashing light on a beetle- never driven one so wouldn't know, or was he that thick he was looking at the main beam light

    the then new beetle doesnt have a temperature guage. instead it has a blue flashing light when its cold, which then goes out when warm, and changes to a red flashing light if it gets too hot. this is a classic case of rtfm. obviously if you dont have a beetle, you wouldnt be expected to know this. the main thing is that i had to go to him, and treat it as a breakdown, and probably drove 100 miles there and back. i didnt know what it was either when i got there, but had a good idea, and knew it would be in the manual. so i sat down in the car with him and made him read the book until he found it. then i called HQ, told them it was a fix, and got paid for it. you would not believe how much money was spent on jobs like this.
