Avoid MLT tyres opposite Adwick train station

Just a warning for anyone looking at part worn tyres to avoid MLT tyres opposite Adwick train station.

Firstly they fitted the wrong size tyres, a huge safety issue had I not noticed.

Gave them the chance to correct and they fitted 4 SNOW tyres, 2 of which were damaged, 1 was fitted rotating in the wrong direction, and 1 was 16 YEARS old (highly unsafe, perished rubber and huge risk of blowout). They tried swapping the one rotating in the wrong direction inside out, meaning the car would have been at severe risk of aquaplaning and an instant MOT fail.

They told me they had nothing else in stock and I could either keep what they gave me or have my original tyres back, which obviously I went for.

The manager said I wouldn't get a full refund as they'd spent so long swapping two sets of tyres and kept £40 "labour fee".

These were fitted to a car with L plates, so clearly they take vehicle safety lightly.

Have reported to Trading Standards & bank chargeback started, but saw a few other people driving away unaware they'd had snow tyres fitted.

Left a review for them online and theyve claimed I asked for incorrect tyres, then asked for snow tyres (as you do) but admitted turning the tyre inside out and saying they're dedicated to tyre safety in the same sentence!

BEWARE!

Magic The Gathering

Hi all,

This may seem an unusual question, or perhaps not; however, I was wondering if people could give me some advice regarding the above. I've recently gotten into Magic and am looking to expand my collection. I'm not so much bothered atm about participating in games, but wondering if I could be pointed in the right direction of where you guys buy your cards from?

I know about Vault 14, Sports Direct and Game (allegedly), but was wondering if there were any other places I could go. If not, then fair enough, but I thought it was worth an ask.

Thank you!

Cat sitter or cattery?

im doing some research for my kitten, she'll be 7 months when we need this care for her. so would you recommend a cat sitter or a cattery?

im going to be at work, my family is away and im on 12 hour shifts. It'll only be for around 3 days I think.

We dont really know our neighbours well enough to ask them and we dont really have any other friends or family.

What would you suggest

Trustworthy Garage

Hi everyone I have got a volvo xc60 2014, the head gasket needs fixing. However I'm unable to find a garage that would be willing to do it, as it's a bigger job.

Keep calling garages in donny only to be told that its a big job taking too much time, therefore its something that they do.

Does anyone know a garage that fixes this issue?

Looking for witnesses for our civil wedding

Hi everyone,
This is a bit of an unusual request, but I’m hoping someone here might be able to help.
My partner and I are getting married in a civil ceremony at the Doncaster Register Office on 29th July at 10:30 a.m., and we’re looking for two witnesses.

The reason we’re asking here is simply that we’re keeping the wedding very private for now, so we’d rather not ask family or friends who know us both.
Being a witness is simply a case of being present at the ceremony and signing the register. As far as I’m aware, there are no legal obligations or responsibilities attached to being a witness beyond confirming that you witnessed the marriage.

If you happen to be available that morning and would be happy to help us out, we’d be incredibly grateful. Please feel free to send me a DM if you’re interested or if you have any questions.
Thank you so much!

Friendly Meetup in Doncaster for people with social anxiety and anyone feeling lonely and isolated.

I hope it's okay to post this here 🙃

I run a monthly meetup for people who find socialising in typical settings difficult and, as a result, struggle to make friends and feel rather isolated and lonely.

If that sounds like you, you're very welcome to join us! There's no pressure or expectations - just a friendly, relaxed group of wonderfully weird people getting together for a chat and some company.

Here's the link to the event:
