Getting my tyre fixed

It's had a slow leak for some weeks, so I had to get it fixed.

And that is a new tyre, I got it a few months ago because the previous tyre had a leak that couldn't be fixed.

Apparently, it had a a screw in it, when I went to pick it up.

"And that was a new tyre," I said.

"It doesn't matter if it's a new tyre, or an old tyre, mate," said the tyre guy.

"Yes, of course," I said. "A screws a screw... ah..." Yes, I said that. He didn't flinch at the comment, so neither did I. I could feel my smile becoming fixed on my face though.
