    You'd be the talk of the village................again.

    Now what would a forecaster be doing with a John Deere? Or am I a janitor, but what would they be doing with one? Oh, I see, I am back to being a farmer now am I? You really should keep off the turps shaunnyboy, way too early to be killing your liver with that tulip; you have to remember the last schoolboy insult you attempted to throw my way, and the turps seems to be removing your ability to do so.

    Now, it is also comical, although not surprising, to see you have less of an understanding of irony, than my 8 year old daughter; we did laugh at that.

    And, as a word of warning, I know Devonians, Janners, and once those lads work out when you're saying Ben Doon and Phil McCavity, you're not talking about your friends back home, they're going to break each and all of your 12 fingers...

The only problem the loss of feeling in the popularity area and all feeling of being an individual. Can't knock it though.

    You might feel "clever" driving a cheap, run of the mill car, but the whole world is looking at you thinking......

    I bought a silver Focus and spent the savings on therapy. Now I've got a car I like and don't care what anyone else thinks.

    For little run abouts, new fiats cant be beaten on price and have quite a few features. They also lose value slower than some other cars, so you get a bit more when you sell it years later down the line ....

    We just bought a car, and I did consider a Skoda, for a fleeting moment, which made me realise how far they'd come on. KIA's and Hyundais are just plain rats arse, pig tulip dull and about as inspiring as an accountant
