Last time I changed one (last Saturday) it took longer to get it out of the pack than to fit it!
I wish you had come to my shop, if anyone returns wipers I always go out and check the replacements fit.You could fit my windscreen wipers Sandra. I went back to the local shop three times after they flogged me the wrong wipers. The third time I took the whole damn shebang, car, wipers, dog, wallet, camel, hamster, anything I thought might be relevant to them looking up the right fecking windscreen wiper!
I almost couldn't take them back the 2nd time as one of the plastic bits shot into the engine bay when I removed it's plastic ill-fitting arse in a, surely not, grump, Cue some furtling and swearing as I retrieved it, so I'd much rather Sandra had the hastle than me.
Only the bedroom door though surely ?Back on topic though, would some of the females on here consider it sexist if I held a door open for them?
It depends. Normally, no.Back on topic though, would some of the females on here consider it sexist if I held a door open for them?
I'd do it for a man as well, it's just good manners.
I asked because years ago I was walking through St Anne's Arcade in Manchester and held the door open for a lady/woman/female coming towards me.
I got a frosty look and a, 'I'm quite capable of opening my own door!"
It took me ages to stop laughing.
I remember the Pat Hanlon shop when i was a kid, in between Palmers green and Southgate, was many moons ago.Pat Hanlon was a well known cycle shop owner on the North Circular Road around the Tottenham area. She sold highly regarded frames with her own name on them and was a top wheel builder. I read an article once where she said that back in the sixties and seventies it was not unusual for men to walk out of the shop when they found who would be building their wheels, muttering "No woman is going to build wheels for me, they don't know what they're doing".
