šØ To the people who ring recovery companies⦠šØ
How do these conversations even happen in your head? š
š You: āHow much to recover my car?ā
š Us: āĀ£80.ā
𤔠You: āIāll give you Ā£50.ā
ā¦
So tomorrow Iām trying the same thing.

āPaymentās Ā£950? Iāll give you Ā£400. Itās cash though.ā
āļø Calling the landlord ā¦
āRent is HOW much? Nah, Iāll do Ā£350
and weāll call it quits.ā
āļø Ringing the dentistā¦
āNeed a tooth out? Iāll give you Ā£20⦠donāt even numb it.ā
āļø Walking into Tescoā¦
Cashier: āThatās Ā£97.46 please.ā
Me: āIāve got Ā£41.80, a Nectar card with 12 points on it, and a scratchcard that nearly won. Deal?ā š¤
See how thick it sounds? š¤£
Some of you have watched one episode of Pawn Stars and now think everything in life is negotiable.
Our recovery truck cost thousands.
Diesel isnāt free.
Insurance isnāt free.
Tyres arenāt free.
But apparently all that disappears because you saidā¦
š£ļø āGo on mateā¦ā
ššš
Hereās a tipā¦
If the recovery is Ā£80 and youāve only got Ā£50, just say:
āNo worries mate, thanks anyway.ā
Donāt start acting like youāre on The Chase trying to beat the price down.
This is vehicle recovery⦠not the final five minutes of a car boot sale. šš
And no⦠saying āItās only up the roadā doesnāt make the diesel cheaper. š
