We have as many chemical suppliers here as you have pubs. So every company is selling sprays lubes solvents cleaners in a bottle with their name on it.

I take your point, it's just that Wurth are also major suppliers to car manufacturers and stealerships in the US.
BTW most of the pubs and gas stations have become apartment blocks or Indian bars/eating houses and the corner shops are now all Polish.

And very few red buses, they all seem to be owned by Galaxy or iPhone 5 or iPad Mini!
And the taxis are now Mercedes Vans!
Lots of Daewoos badged as Chevys plus Kia/Hyundai everywhere plus of course loads of self-righteous dick heads driving Prius and Smarts and getting in everyone else's way.

Miniun wage here needs to be $3 an hour more than it is to equal the cost of living of 1968, and thats not counting the increased taxes that we pay now.

You loose half your jobs because people think you're too expensive but it nice when they come back to you with a f****d up car pleading for you to put it right.
I'm charging the same for the rare audio fits that I do nowadays as 30 years ago!

I don't believe in price matching hacks so if I lose a few jobs in the meantime by charging a little more, I won't be compared to them because I charge the same. The majority of people are choosing to learn the hard way today. It's like common sense has gone out the window. And know one wants to be informed about what they are buying they just want it yesterday.
