There was a very rural garage not a million miles from me where if you spoke Welsh the MoT would consist of a walk round the car and being asked "Everything works, doesn't it?".
Sadly the owner retired and the lot who took over are by the book. Much as many will disagree, I do miss the petty corruption that used to abound back in the day. Many an east End garage would overlook the odd fault for a drink.
