What a morning!Scrwfix=ScrewUP
Ordered an item from Screwfix and paid via Paypal. Sue going to collect it and Screwfix won't release it to her even though she has ID. If paying by paypal the person on the paypal accout can only collect with ID
Last time I ordered from them was at our old address, try changing the address using same email addy and password
So rang head office who will do a refund to paypal and Sue will have to pay on her credit card. I have never heard of such a screwup farce which is what the company should be called.
Next decided to get petrol lawnmower ready for the season, so oil change easy?yes erm NO. I have never on all the petrol engines I have owned never seen how impossible to do an engine oil change this is. What I presume is the oil drain plug (no instructions anywhere) is lower that the cutting blade raised cover, so it can't be drained that way.
So searching on the web others with th4e same problem like me have found a large syringe designed for the job which is inserted down the filler hole. How stupid is that??? beyond me.
Needless to say Sue is mad at me
On top of that the internet is playing up and not responding properly

As for special tools, don't get me started.

I cut out the security issues Realspeed by visiting my local B&Q in person, select the required item [and also spot a few other things that will come in handy] call in at the cafe for a sausage sandwich [Daughter works in the cafe so deduct 10%] and then pay woman at the till with coin of the realm.....Job done.....

On the net I saw a syringe for sucking oil out of a small petrol engine and Screwfix was the nearest stockest. Sue wanted the use of the lawnmower this morning so it was a get item quick and do oil change. Hence we went there. I am not a fan of that company anyway but pickup within 5 minutes so used them|
