Post by winger »

Michelin tyres went up 8% end of jan and their going up another 8% end of march because of the strength of the euro.

So they can can get more US$ for their euros to pay for their materials, and the prices go up? Am I the only one that doesn't get it?

TT - good tyre and a decent price.
Watch for wear, seems very variable (I was a bit disappointed)

With the price and tyres and petrol going up, I am strongly considering taking up Gus's chosen proffession of 'Rent Boy'.
I just don't know if I can 'pout' and 'mince' as well as he does?!

You will be homeless and starving within the week!
However i may be able to get you a fluffing job.Lower wages and you will be servicing our blind or partially sighted customers.What with your mug and all. :wink:
Or you could just work harder at your chosen (cough)profession.I thought the money was decent anyway?It used to be.
