car MOT and motorcycle repair

I did not go swimming as planned and have my car MOT and bike left indicator repaired. Last night the temperature was sub-zero, i had to pour a kettle of boiling water on the door keyhole to defrost it before unlocking the door. the garage in Churchill is very good, never overcharge and usually do quick jobs. it took them 30 mins to do the MOT test and change a pair of front wipers, which costed me 75 gbp.

i paid 20 gbp to Bill down the road, he found an old indicator in a big box full of disused motorbike indicators and fixed it on my bike. now my bike front pair of indicators are in odd shapes, but they work the same.

queued in the local post office for nothing, because the hasting insurance has not post me the car insurance certificate, i could not buy a valid vehicle tax disc, although i 've got insurance and mot now.

the law is designed in such a way, only powerless individuals bear the burden and cost for the errors done by insurance or related authorities. the system is designed in such a way individuals could be screwed hard and stiff if you dare to confront the authority or readdress the wrongs themselves.

i have to phone the insurance for a certificate before i can get a valid tax disc, maybe next week. so in a cold day like today, i have to be exposed to elements on bike to go to a friend's home on the other side of london for dinner.
