Diesel Scrappage Scheme

[SueEllen]

How the hell does an Astra last 15 years? They sound fecked after about 5.

Cojak and Mr own it.

I had an Astra as a replacement hire car - I don't like them. I prefer the tulipty 1 litres I normally hire.

It's long overdue - these polluting tiny diesel engines must be taken off the road to make more space for my 5.5L V8 petrol

Nothing says "successful contractor" like a +2yr warchest and no mortgage.

You spend your money your way, I'll spend mine the way I like.

Oooo touchy.

I was kidding, though clearly the joke is lost when we're not face to face.

Am also in a similar position to you BTW.

No, she is a mod on here...

Scrap my darling little van? I would sooner see 10 million die of air pollution!

[original PM]

Indeed

So a person drives car x and they are therefore an underachiever

And person drives car y and therefore they are an over achiever

But if you then look the person driving car x has plenty of money and a stable life

The person driving car y struggles to make at ends meet each month and is consistently worrying about money.

Who is going to be the better person to bring onboard?

You may not have a choice when the next MOT is due...

Stupid idea. Most “pollution” comes from trucks and buses and commercial oil heating; not cars.

Right enough, you only need stand at a bus stop and you'll have lung cancer within the hour.
