tindal!!grumpy my arse!!!£20 per half hour is not to be sniffed at is it ? i must be in the wrong trade?

It seems that we forget that these MOT stations have overheads including staff. If these MOT staions can make money, it is called making a profit (not a dirty word). This means that they will continue to trade and employ the likes of you and me. Food for thought!

Grumpa 12 -
Once again you show what a lucky chap you are with a £20 MOT. I paid £28 ("trade", I was told) 3 weeks ago.
I couldn't get anyone (builder, plumber, electrician, etc.) to do anything for £40 per hour, either. Most of them want more than that to simply get out of bed.....

https://www.gov.uk/mot-test-fees...........if you don't like it the answer is easy....buy new bikes and change them them when they get near to MoT time.......folks do it with cars, why not bikes.......simples innit?

Or even better Bryan, buy pre 1960 and enjoy not loosing value on it as well.-------------- I can't complain my MOT tester is a club member (Jampot club) and does the test for other members at £10.00 with as much Tea/Coffee as you can drink.

my reply to this is that if people won,t get out of bed for less than £40 per hour it just go,s to show what a set of greedy barstewards there are out there i,m sure this all started with nambypamby footballers its time they got into the real world where the national minimum wage is just over £6 per hour make no wonder this country is screwed and being screwed ,anyway my mot man has a couple of enfields in his stable etc etc 1 being a taurus greaves diesel,he also is very rich owns a VARIETY OF BUSINESSES etcetc hows that for grumpy ! don,t get me started !!atb paul very ungrumpy !!

Hi Paul----we love you all the more for your little "Grump-ettes"... I wonder how your business-owning friend feels about being FORCED to pay a national min. wage as against doing it voluntary ???--------------- following on from these replies (and comments from my bike-riding mates), I'll be shopping around for a "moped-friendly" tester in my area..... The main bikes can still go to my current, long-term used one , but I was seriously miffed when they blandly charged the same, MAX. price for a 1970's Honda PV50....
