    Thats a big 'what if' and if that should ever happen then my coverage gives me an equivalent model
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Mine can copy your CDs to MP3 (Nissan call it "jukebox") at a less than brilliant 128 Kb/s. Lame, never used it. Usb stick beats all.

      Nissan Nav/entertainment system is good. Only drawback is Satnav updates cost hundreds of £££.

        Yeah mine does that as well. A CD takes about 5 minutes but I just copied my iTunes to USB and then copied that over. Sometimes I'll plug my iPod or Android phone in and use that instead if there's stuff not already on the hard drive, I can also stream Spotify but don't bother and apparently that looks quite cool in the HuD (except I didn't order that) although the screen does show the album cover

          So far, they haven't been able to. Or rather, they picked it up but generally didn't know what to do with it next.

              There's a finite supply of people with an IQ above 130.
              The normal distribution ensures that.
              My guess is that the world has enough high paid work to ensure those people will always be rich, if they want to be.
              As the world becomes more complex, the split between the cognitively gifted and those less so will become larger.
              It's even becoming the case, I think, that being cognitively gifted is better than inheriting capital.
              With the right qualifications and experience nowadays it's so easy to make money.
              Are you a loser?
              Didn't do too well at school?
              Can't make it in the most dynamic economy in Europe?
              No good with women?

              Then VOTE UKIP! We'll make you whole again

                  Other countries are just as bad.
                  And where else can you grow rich just by living in your house?

                    Arr, the "I am successful and rich because my house it worth £5K more this week than last week" brigade.

                    Well down house, you are a high achiever

                      It's a nice feeling when you're thrashing your house in earnings though, double whammy.
                      Give you a warm glowing feeling inside
