I'm sure its purely semantics & being pedantic but I thinks its more to do with your spelling

 

brake =/= Break

 

tomatoes / potatoes however you want to say it, the spelling is differnce etc

 

same with guttered / gutted, one carried water, the other is your guts being ripped out, or a stink feeling

Oh yeah haha I'm a physics student  I'm not too good with words haha I'm more of a numbers person my bad

Is the trade cash card the same as their club card or whatever it is? They always ask if i've got one but never actually bothered looking into it.

It's different, the trade card is blue where as the club is red. I think the trade card gives you discounts more upfront where as using a club card you get credited back.

Nope trade cash card is completely different but you can have both cards and use either card depending if something is going on special within two weeks.

 

So in a nutshell.

 

Club Card - If something goes on special wiithin two weeks of you buying it you get credited back

                   All Your reciepts and Warranties are stored on the card

                   Exclusive club deals for club memebers every now and then

 

Trade Cash Card - 10% Discount on all items including ordered items

                               Exclusive trade deals every month

                               The more you buy the better discount you get

                               Stores all reciepts on the card also

How do retail customers get a trade card?

Hack : when you gas up

 

Walk around your car & check it, for dings / tires stuff like that

 

some people I swear do not know what the Passenger side of their car looks like

[newsuba]

not pedantic at all

 

brake/slowing down is what you want to do when that immovable object appears in front of you.

 

break/ separation into pieces is what will happen if you don't brake

 

now it's time for another break/ pause in work

life hack, ordinarily a stubby doesn't sit in the cup holder too well, but if you put it in a beer cosy/cooler- the cup holder holds it perfect. no more spillage between destinations

Did you ever notice the arrow by the gas gauge ?

 

 

It indicates on which side of the car the gas cap is located !

 

If you have multiple cars or you are on a rental car, next time you'll avoid the "Oh sh*t !" moment when you realise that the cap is on the other side.

This small tip changed my life

Nice tip about the arrow on the gas gauge. You learn something new everyday ha!
