    surely i'm not alone in feeling that inflating my car tyres is a crucial yet so tedious job.

    when is someone going to invent a drive through machine where you can get it done without getting out of your car?

    or valves that you dont have to manually take off, or at least screw off?


    I always wondered what sort of people actually buy ready grated cheese and ready chopped carrots.... :rotfl:

    The OP makes me think they should get a motorbike, and only work half a week blowing up tyres.

    Didn't there used to be a thing that fuelled your car, checked the oil water and tyres.

    If I can remember correctly it was called an attendent, done away in order to reduce the price of the fuel, oh no got that wrong, it was to increase the profits of the fuel station

    In the 60's when I was an apprentice I worked on the pumps to supplement my wages and we did all of the above

    problem was no one could afford it because it kept going up with inflation

    That must have been a bit of a let down!

    I think so-called improvements to cars can be quite the opposite. Who decided that manually winding down a window was so much effort that it needed to be done by pressing a button??!

    I was driving a car recently where the window wouldn't move, and it was stuck half way down with the button not working. Had to take everything out of the car and lug it all around with me as I couldn't very well leave it sitting there within easy reach of everyone! Also I have to drive over some very dodgy bridges sometimes, and the thought does sometimes cross my mind that falling into a deep river and not being able to open the door because of the pressure and not being able to wind the window down because the electrics will probably have failed, would be a seriously bad day ....
