This is a question Ripped Off

A friend who worked in a second hand record shop told us about a Japanese guy who regularly bought "rare" records in their shop. One time, he was looking for a signed copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks".

They didn't have one. Four people and one magic marker later, they did. Ker-ching!

How have you been ripped off? Who did you rip off? Are you a British Gas customer?

Had a new clutch
put in the car about six months ago. On Sunday, one of the springs sheered off at 70 miles hour, wrecking the clutch and sending sharp pieces of metal straight into the gearbox, puncturing the housing, which pissed oil down into the shaft.

I was seeing friends in York and the clutch blew up just north of Nottingham on the return journey. Had to rapidly join the AA and pay £200 for a tow home. Got home at half past two in the morning after breaking down at half past eight.

The car is now on stilts without its front feet and half the engine lying in pieces underneath it.

One shonky clutch from VAG has now cost me approximately 900 pounds, all in. Am I justified in feeling ripped off? Possibly. Am I going after VW? Definitely. And oh deary deary me, it would seem that the breakdown has given me pains in my neck and made me nervous to drive. How about that.
