Ford trying it on

Cheeky buggers, I've taken my car to them a fair few times but the mechanic was clearly taking the mic.
"your windscreen wipers are smdfggjn"
"what?"
"they're smeary, its £15"
"no, worked ok on the way to you this morning, i'll wipe them with a sponge"
"one of your washer jets is blocked, £8"
"you mean the one that squirts water over the top of the windscreen?"
"erm, yeah"
"well when I can be bothered to do it with a pin i'll do it"
"one of your tyres is down to 2mm"
"really? good for the tyre.... it was 3mm on the fronts yesterday"
"your front fog is cracked, £35"
"no, well it was cracked when I brought the car and its not an MOT failure and its not going to fail"

What a load of crap, never had this crap come from them in the past. The only thing that wasn't surprising was that my aux belt needed doing.
