    Started a new job as Service Advisor at a Peugeot main dealer in the eighties. Monday start but went in (unpaid)on Saturday morning to find out where everything was; good thing I did because, at 8 o/clock Monday there was just me and a queue of customers as, despite his promise, there was no sign of the service manager, who would arrive at 10, chat to everyone all day about nothing important and then complain about how far behind he was with everything

    Good staff in any profession are difficult to find.

    The content is great but it's tough to hear you.

    Do you think the government will ever relent and reduce VED on petrol cars or diesel to make them still worth owning long term?

    The worst thing is, these were the 'good old days'. I can only imagine the bullshit going on now with all the EV nonsense. Retail is (mostly) the best job in the world, but if you're a 20 something just starting out, leave cars well alone. Trust me, it isn't worth the hassle.

    How many more incentives do EV sales need, now reducing vat on public charging, how much money are they going to continue to throw at this sector which is failing.

    People think they are so smart with these sorts of practices but ultimately they loose decent staff and alienate their customers.

    Barrie I don't understand why you used your dictaphone... I mean why couldn't you use your finger like everyone else?
