    It was funny how Matt said tongue in cheek how he was riding solo after his former companion was convicted of benefit fraud and sacked.
  • The cars were not covered over night so if someone did buy off these foreigners and were stitched up a few bricks thrown over the gates on the cars would of been justified.
  • i'd be tempted to signrite that picanto in matts ample slogan ZERO STAR CARS and put it opposite the gates, when they come out to smash it up have em done for criminal damage!

    like chucking water wasnt an arrestable offence in itself oh my camera is damage because they threw water, ello ello ello you nicked son criminal damage and assualt.
  • A great pity the BBC didn't follow it all up with a complaint to Trading Standards, and follow up what happened after they got involved.

    After all, these shysters have over £2k of TV licence payers money which I think should come back to the BBC.

    I need to watch this on iPlayer - the car dealer bit sounds good and apparently they had a guy from Wonga on who Annie completely bamboozled and he promised customers a refund plus interest at the same rates Wonga charge, then did some comedy back-pedalling.
    yes me thinks he may be out of a job after that mess... it was so funny

    Presumably the undercover reporters who bought the car didn't use their own money.

    It wasn't tongue in cheek - he was convicted of benefit fraud and jailed for 12 weeks in mid July.
