I think I should probably learn how to change a tire. I get the feeling Mr Wench might not be too good at that sort of thing.  eeek:
In this country we change 'tyres'.

Only the Yanks have 'tires'.  noooo:

Sorry.  redface:

In my defence my formative spelling years were spent in a Yank school. I get confused.

One assumes then that Mrs Berek did not accompany you ~ or she could have changed it. whistle:

she doesnt even know where the petrol cap is

Well, knowledge of the whereabouts of the petrol cap is hardly going to help in changing a wheel is it?

I hardly think either you/she/the AA man will change a TYRE at the roadside - a wheel maybe, but a TYRE - no way (though they do for big articulated trucks but I doubt Berek was in one of those!)
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

If you spent less time p155ing on the "tires" you would have got in first. ;)

Indeed ~ it was all that resizing and bolding and stuff that took the time.
