As per the header. The neighbour has got a knackered car battery but he is
too nervous to just buy and fit a new one (he wants a main dealer to swap

I am getting a bit ****ed off with having to keep jump starting the bloody
car - 5 times in the last two days.

If you are taking a break from work over the Christmas period , and
having to get into a position to Jump start the neighbours car
involves any use of a road o rarea where the public have access then
could you say that you have had an alcholic drink or two and dare not
get into your vehicle.
lack of assistance may make him do something,even if it is to get the
main dealer to come and fetch the car.
