#Capitalism is dying
Former car #workers have a moral tale for our times
Abandoned by company they worked for, let down by #Labour & #unions. They watch their friends turn to #Reform
A deserted hotel bar; 5 men reminiscing
Thinking of Friday afternoon in March last year. The place they had worked for 2-3 decades each, making friends, meeting future wives, is shutting for good
#Vauxhall came to #Luton not long after death of Queen Victoria

Spending the day at the local #Vauxhall dealership for a service and MOT. Already seen one customer give up on them in the first ten minutes, so I guess service is just a problem that the whole franchise has (and it’s not just an issue with Bristol branch I was with before). I’ll be going to independents from here on, and my next car will probably be from Hyundai, Kia, BYD or Geely.

Heads up to anyone looking for used #cars in #Europe - many #Vauxhall / #Opel have active recall due to a dodgy #airbag - I'm currently searching for a car for a relative and two that turned up on various online private sales and had outstanding recall notice. (this doesn't happen with dealers, as its illegal for dealers to sell a car with outstanding safety recall)
I suspect #Stellantis dealers are taking so long to fix these (especially ex the #GM models, which are getting much less support than those post-takeover) that folk are simply selling their #cars rather than book them in to be fixed..

Cooler today (only 25°C) so did exterior #valet of #Vauxhall / #Opel #Corsa - started with #snowfoam mix of Autoglym Polar Blast + BiltHamber Surfex HD at 10% (wouldn't normally use anything as heavy as that but you can see state car was in previously!)
Contact wash with CarPro Reset. No pics of snowfoam due to working fast because heat!
Single stage polish with Koch Chemie 3.01 mild compound+carnuba #wax, cheap cordless DA (compatible with #Makita batteries) and orange pad that came with it.
I'm fairly new to machine #polishing and didn't use best technique and too much polish (though some on YT recommend keeping pad saturated when working in hot weather to prevent polish drying out, and this seemed to work, #bodywork on this #car far from perfect anyway!)

#PartThree of #Many:
#OfCourse; the #HolidayInn did try to #Sting me for the room; but, were #SwiftlyCorrected and were #GoodEnough not to embarrass themselves further.
The #LoanCar was fine; some #Generic #GM / #Vauxhall #OmegaThing, with lots of #Grey #RuchedLeather and #HorribleVeneers...
And, a #BootSpace #LargeEnough for, #Maybe, 3-4 #Bodies...
