After saying “That’s why I suggested you contact him direct” I received the following
"The reply NickD gave was a narrow minded response from a little man with a complex, if he’s your go to “expert” on tyres he needs to be reminded that “Ex” means “Former” and “Spurt” is a “large drip under pressure”.
I then pointed out to him that the word “expert” comes from the Latin “expertus” which means “from experience”.
His reply consisted of sarcastic remarks.
