It will only take 5 seconds to have your car up on bricks.

You might joke, but there really is no point having one where I live because it will be stolen/destoyed.

In 1992 I shared a place with someone that had a 1976 escourt - it was stolen - not because it was valuable - just becasue it could be.

London is great - I have lived here seven years and needed a car twice - in both cases I hired one so motoring has cost about £250 in the last two years.

In a small way I see two fingers pointed up at brown!

Says Mr "I haven't been to the gym for nine months"...

It's a fair cop. Five weeks then.

What is a scally ?

Ahh, a reference to 'class' we must be in Tory Britain.

I took the honour of amending that post Lucy.

I missed this earlier.

Yes - will go - but I will be looking out for scallys calling me a knobhead!

I have watched the posts on this site for a long time - and there is no way LB that you can impersonate a scally long enough. Your class will show through in the end.

So you will be going as a complete knobhead then?

I find the idea that people over 40 have to stay home all the time and not putting their nose outside, if not in their squallid local pub, is pretty much valid only in Britain. Don't you reckon? The enlightened EU seems to score much better on this.

I dont know where yous get that from - our pubs restaurants up here are full of "oldies". Its what makes it interesting.
Isn't it like that down south?

[Francko]

Yes, and I like to think I will still be going out, to fine restaurants at least, into my 70's Not so pleasant for other diners but I don't care.

Absolutely!! Whats the point of getting to that age if you cant burp loudly in fine restaurants

[Lucy]

Well 30's are the new 20's (or at least that's what I tell myself every day)

I agree Gonzo, you are young, younger than me.
Poor you if your going out days are over. Maybe try a bookclub ?

The worst thing is that we don't have kids - that's what generally keeps people of my age at home.

However, we don't have to go out "on the pull" any more, which makes life a lot easier.

My d.o.b. on my profile is accuarate - I like to think that I am still young!

So you are from the 1950's ?

Another CUK mystery solved.

No sorry, but i have read about the 1950's in books, and seen it on TV. I don't think I would have liked it - it looked incredibally dull.

FFS In those days people thought that Cliff Richard was a bit subversive - all he was doing was copying Elvis.
