My old suzuki swift leaked/burned oil at the rate of about a litre every 1500 miles. I just bought cheapo cheap oil in Wilkos for something like 3 quid a litre and never had to do an oil change. :D

I'd cycled past the house many times and knew the phone box was there. It wasn't until I walked past that I noticed the skeleton:
"Your call is very important to us. You are number [click] three hundred and ninety seven [click] in the queue. Please hold the line." :D
