Apparently there is a lot of people out there who don't understand what garages are talking about, when there car goes in for repair.

So now there is a campaign group that are trying to change things - Just Here, The Plain English Campaign says nine out of 10 people are bewildered by garage jargon .....

That's a lot of people nine out of ten :shock:

seems to me that if people dont bother to obtain any knowledge at all about whats usually the second most expensive thing they own then its not suprising they get taken for a ride, especially as everyone knows a car requires regular maintenance as well as occasional emergency repairs.
Its the wifes until it breaks down.
