Yet more misinformed crap.

Anyone had the please of watching BBC1 right now? Some rubbish program about 4x4's & some idiotic
simpleton couple.

I have never seen such crap in my life.

No wonder we get such grief ffs.

Given they have the biggest growth in sales for new cars for what I'm led to
beleive, the Beeb and any politicians may well be cutting there noses off to
spite there face for the sake of "entertainment" or supposed votes. Give
them enough rope and they'll be stuck in a ditch with alot of rope ;-)

Should be a stanard question pre recovery of any one. "Are you a Jerno or
politician?" Next question , "Whats my car?", without using the words

what grief do you get? I use mine for work - never had a single
complaint. Anyone taking a peek at the contents[1] of the 110 is soon
overawed by its capacity as a workhorse.

The only grief I get is when I go on site, all the other subbies want to
buy my series 11 from me. For a pittance, of course.
This after I've pulled their pathetic utes out of the mire with my 38
year old antique

Having been promoted (in job title only) I now qualify for a real
carpark space and thus no longer need to take my Series IIa to work (it
was the only vehicle I own capable of parking in the ornamental garden
in front of the office). However the young lass (just turned 20) who is
my PA has insisted on me still using it so she gets the chance to drive
it when she goes to buy lunch, collect the post, and so on. Whilst I am
all too aware of the Landy-Loonie disease I can't quite fathom her
reasoning for wanting to drive it in the crap traffic in NZ's largest
city when her daily transport is a far more suitable (and equally fun,
and probably equally dry in the rain) Hayabusa Suzuki bike.

Being a victim of the anti-smoking brigade (see "Life of Grime - Lets
Spend Half An Hour Sniggering at Smokers Isn't This Fun") I'm affraid
the outcome is inevitable. There are a hell of a lot more smokers than
4x4 drivers but it's still perfectly ok to treat smokers as second
class citizens and treat us like scum (just wait till income tax has
to go up when we all give up) so 4x4 drivers, with the addition of
the politics of envy, havn't got a hope in hell. The "anti-everything
that they don't happen to enjoy" brigade *know* they will win, and
we've only got ourselves to blame for letting other campaings go ahead
because we don't happen to chose to oppose them.

Don't get so wound up about this vacuous nonsense. The majority of

They must have had those kids late in life - and boy, didn't she have

Looking her preferred modes of transport, she's obviously completely barking
mad. HTH

true, true. They're also not that keen on penniless immigrants. I've
considered it, in fact. There's rather a lot of inertia to overcome though.
Given the promise of a job once I got there, I'd be quite tempted. One of
the problems is a lack of meaningful qualifications, though.

That young lady seems an excellent incentive to visit NZ.

And she seems to have a well-honed instinct for survival in traffic.

She's in good company then as most of us at work seem to be marching to
the beat of a slightly different drum.

Suffice it to say she's well enough put together that if I wasn't
married I'd be offering her a place to call home.

Jesus H Christ - another Pom with a sheep fixation. Both the Welsh and
Kiwis let the sheep be sheep and don't bother trying to project our
fantasies onto the ovine inhabitants of the neighbouring country. ;-)

She's a bloody good incentive for bothering to turn up at work -
otherwise I'd probably telecommute from home far more often and only
darken the doorway at work late at night (when less people would bother
me with stupid requests) or when there was free beer available.

She certainly has that.
