Me: The Landcruiser needs its Revision Tecnica [MOT] and when you replaced the discs & pads last week inexplicably you didn't bother to do the front right.
Dealer Idiot: Well, we'll go to the Revision Technical first and then replace the disc & pads.
Me: It won't pass, you need to do the pads first.
Dealer Idiot: Oh no, it'll be fine. We don't actually have our vehicles tested, we pay for the pass certificate, so we'll do the brakes afterwards.
Me: Hmmm...….
NB: Revision Tecnicas are done at Government Inspection Centres not garages.

'Clucking bell' is the noise a Volvo makes if you haven't (a) shut all doors properly, (b) put a seat belt round a parcel you've got on the back seat, and (c) said the Lord's Prayer in Swedish.

Fader Vår
Fader Vår som är i Himmelen.
Helgat varde Ditt namn.
Tillkomme Ditt Rike.
Ske Din vilja, såsom i Himmelen
så ock på Jorden.
Vårt dagliga bröd giv oss idag
Och förlåt oss våra skulder
såsom ock vi förlåta dem oss skyldiga äro
och inled oss icke i frestelse
utan fräls oss ifrån ondo.
Ty Riket är Ditt och Makten och Härligheten
i Evighet.

Thanks for that - I hadn't realised how close Swedish is to German.
We have the English version too:
Our Farnham, which art in Hendon,
Holloway be thy name.
Thy Kingston come, Thy Wimbledon,
In Erith as it is in Hendon.
Give us this day our Maidenhead,
And forgive us in Westminster,
As we forgive those in Westminster against us:
And lead us not into Thames Ditton,
But deliver us from Yeovil,
For thine is the Kingston,
The Purley and the Crawley,
For Iver and Iver, Amen.

Or Dury’s original:
Our Father,
Who art in Hendon
Harrow Road be Thy name
Thy Kingston come
Thy Wimbledon
In Erith as it is in Hendon.
Give us this day our Berkhamsted
And forgive us our Westminsters
As we forgive those who Westminster against us.
Lead us not into Temple Station
And deliver us from Ealing,
For thine is the Kingston
The Purley and the Crawley,
For Iver and Iver
Crouch End

What — did Shed Seven come up short for once? Shed 6¾? (There are apparently - or not - hidden tracks on their albums). |

I do listen to more than one band, you know. Current estimates put the total at around 6.
I have it on good authority that it was a drive around the North Circular which inspired Marvin Gaye to record his classic - "Sexual Ealing".

British place names don't really work in songs like American locations do they?
I left my heart in Newport Pagnell?
I was only, 24 hours from Towcester?
I'm on the road to Milford Haven ?
