I hate getting tyres fitted, the only time there hasn't been a f**k up is when I was stood next to the guy doing it.

Sounds like a lot of work for not much money.
Appreciate this is completly different and not much fun, but bloke near me has set up a company cleaning bins and he's absolutly raking it in.
