    Would this look out of place in the works car park?

    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      I wouldn't take it to the works car park, for fear of upsetting the managers.

      Rule # 1 : Never show up in a better car than the MD or the Managers at the Client. It puts noses out of joint.
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        And mine - was the bedroom wall car par excellence.

        Over the last few years the prices have virtually doubled as the people that had posters on their walls can actually think about affording one. 90K now for a good one whereas 5 years ago you could have picked one up for £40K.
