Catalytic Converter

Catalytic Converter Thefts

A local news story today reports that Bedfordshire Police are warning motorists to be alert after the latest spate of metal thefts.

Thieves have been cutting the Catalytic Converter out of cars and trucks.
Catalytic Converters reduce omissions and each one contains approx. 1-2 grammes of platinum.

It is thought the rising cost of platinum is to blame.

A truck dealership in Bedfordshire has been targeted 3 times. In total they have had 15 Catalytic Converters stolen from their vehicles. The dealership estimates that as scrap the thieves get £30 - £40. It cost the dealership in excess of £900 to repair each vehicle.

Bedfordshire Police confirm that although these thefts are rare, thieves are targeting the retail industry. They urge retailers and private individuals to be vigilant.

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.

Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.

"Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my GOD! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful . CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!"

The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

The husband calmly replied, "I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving."

Women car dealers 'more trusted' than men

A new survey has revealed that women are considered more trustworthy than men when it comes to selling second-hand vehicles.

The survey which was conducted by the AA Personal Loans asked 1500 motorists to vote for the celebrity they would be most likey to buy a car from.

Lorraine Kelly topped the poll with 17 percent of the vote. Surprisingly only one male, 'Newsnight' anchor Jeremy Paxman made the top 5 with 16 percent - but most agreed they would rather buy from a woman, with six females making the top ten.

The top ten: 1. Lorraine Kelly 17%, 2. Jeremy Paxman 16%, 3. Paula Radcliffe 10%, 4. Carol Thatcher 5%, 5. Jo Brand 5%, 6. Sharon Osbourne 4%, 7. Katie Price 2%, 8. Mr Bean 1%, 8. Del Boy Trotter 1%, 10. Alan Partridge 0.5%.

A Corporate Lesson

Belated 'Friday Fun'

A Corporate Lesson
A sales rep, an administration clerk and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke.
The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give one to each of you.
"Me first! Me first!" says the clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."Poof! She's gone.
The astonished sales rep says, "Me next! Me next! I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of pina coladas and the love of my life."Poof! He's gone.
"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

The Bathtub Test

Every week we will post the joke email that made us laugh most in the office.

Here's the first 'Friday Fun'

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director
'How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalised?'

'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.'

'Oh, I understand,' said the visitor. ' A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'

'No.' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?'
