Lunch in clientco canteen; 'Chicken Korma' as it was described on the blackboard.

Actually quite edible. The only issue; it was made of pork. Again.

Bear in mind that this is a company with a VERY international workforce.

I had lunch in clientco canteen, this is a very rare occurrence, as I was out last night and didn't get time to make my own lunch.

The mushroom soup wasn't bad.

FTFY.

Saw a Marina a couple of months ago.

Dunno why anyone would want one, mind.

From The Chairman

If you go anywhere in a Marina or Ital and listen to peoples' memories of their cars and the thousands of miles of reliable motoring you can't fail to be impressed.

I'm sure I used to like mushroom soup, but the last one I had had lots of chunks of mushroom in it that quite put me off.

Dunno why.

is it too late for the mallet of understanding to have an impact...

Much.

I'm sure the success of the Morris Marina accounts for the popularity of the Morris 1000 & Morris Minor.

From wikipedia;

The Marina was developed under the watchful eye of British Leyland management

So what on earth were they watching?

Apparently the Marina 1800 was so dangerous with the Morris 1000 lever arm dampers fitted that the press made BL fit proper shocks or else.

The Allegro was amazing though. Apparently the body was so bendy and flimsy the windscreen popped out if it was jacked up on one corner; the solution was to keep two jacks and jack up the whole side, alternating between each jack to keep the body straight.

The Tester family only ever had one BL car; PaterTester's company Rover SD1, which he had for three months, of which 2 were spent in the dealer's workshop, before his boss returned an entire fleet of more than fifty sales reps cars to BL saying they'd never use BL cars again. He got Renault as replacement, and MaterTester bought a Fiat 126.

Actually, despite some people's prejudice against Italian cars, the Tester family has owned many small Italian runabouts ranging from the Fiat 126 through a Lancia Y10 to the new Fiat 500, and all of them have been reliable and really very good. I just wish I'd kept my old Y10 because they're starting to be collectibles now.

I'm glad my Daimler's from the Ford era.
