Some ned decided that my car would look better with a 6 inch scratch on the tailgate so took a key or knife along it yesterday!

This happened yesterday afternoon in Callender. In Leith I could understand it but in a wee town like that?

Can anyone recommend anywhere in Edinburgh to sort it? It is scratcged through to the undercoat.

And to finish off my day I got laser gunned by the police on the way home. I didn't see them until I was almost passed them and I was doing almost 40 in a 30. What a bl00dy day!

Nightmare GAJ. Why can't people just leave things alone?

The only place i can suggest is somewhere like Chips Away, or Dent Devil, but i don't know if they have franchises in Auld Reekie.

As you say GAJ, you don't expect that kind of thing to happen in rural parts. What a bummer. Sorry to hear about the speed trap as well, where about was that?

I am not sure of the name of the wee place. Not far from Falkirk. I'll let you know when I get the letter from the Police:(

GAJ - that sucks! Big Stylee! You need to get the alarm changed to the one from Phoenix Nights - the audible warning of "Get back you B@ast@rds, I'll break your legs" would soon scare the gits off!
