The brakes on my car are making a high pitched noise as if metal is grinding on metal. I have booked it into the garage. It won't be fixed tomorrow as they don't carry spares, but they will be able to tell me whats wrong with it, tell me how much it will cost me, and book it in to be fixed.

Depends on the car and if it now needs new discs.

Whatever the cost, i will have to get it done. I can't do without it. So fingers crossed.

Have you noticed it appears to be all men of a certain age or children?

I think there was a young woman and her daughter there who seemed very interested in the layouts, but a lot of them were as you say " old fogies".

Local club has members of all ages, and not all men either.

Your pads or pad could be down to the metal or you may have something hard in the disc pad material.
It's not uncommon for garages to carry spares as there are so many different variations on models. Quite often parts are sourced from other motor factors.

The gypsy gardeners have been today and made a first class job of trimming our driveway hedges and the privets along the back fence. Gave us a good price for taking down three nuisance conifers as well. We've booked that for late January. Gods bless those hard working travelling folk.

Got my 20 years in last month with an extra weeks pay and a handshake and congrats from my manager.

That's an extra week's pay, a handshake and a set of congratulations more than I got. I was, however, told "you get more for double murder".
