Thanks o-n I might just take it to the local cop shop as it is and and see what they say.., though as I got home last night, I noticed I'd got a headlight out... Might be a sign... Anyway I'm at a wedding piss-up in Scunthorpe so it'll have to wait till I get home to it!!!

Umm, they'd be built in India or China, surely...?

If we're going to get all metaphysical about corporate headquarter locations, then there's not been a "British car", apart from a handful of ones-twosy manufacturers, since 1994...

(But there's been "Chinese cars" built here since MG restarted at Longbridge in 2007. Also, LTI (London Taxis) are Chinese-owned now.)

Am I to understand your believe is that if a dog was born is a stable then it's a Horse?

"He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty Shetland Pony..."


So a Slough 2cv is a "French car", is it?
A shiny new Range Rover or Jag is an Indian car?
Those Nissan Notes being punted out by the ton from Sunderland are all French - ooops, sorry - Japanese. No, wait. French. Umm...

Not unless the Rover or Jag was designed and first manufactured in India no, but they weren't were they? Ahhh... I know your southern educated ways, you'll tell us poor Northerners owt, just because we stuffed you at football again yesterday.

I was in a bar on Saturday that was full of students, and the one next to me had a posh southern accent. To be friendly I said to him. "Hello mate, where are you from?"

He looked at me like I'd farted, and said "I come from a place where we don't end our sentences with prepositions" Oooooh I thought. Ok then, I'll rephrase that. "Where do you come from - Dickhead?"

I mean what was I supposed to say? "From whence do you hail?" Where would that be then - fuc*ing Camelot? I'm not bothered what you southerners say Peugeot's are French cars you can't kid us.

So the stable analogy's a bit daft, since horses didn't evolve in stables.



Mother's family from Cumbria, Father's family from Lincolnshire, lived in Yorkshire until I was 10 then moved about 10 miles t'other side of the border... Yep, I'm a southerner... Or something.



At what?

Old Nail,you do come out with somewicked funny stuff,luv it.
Long may it continue
(oh,whats a preposition ?)

A preposition is a position before the next one.

This still makes me laugh. he'es exactly like my friend Pat

Neither were they designed by man, of any nationality. Edit: I was going to say 'conceived' by man then I though Urgh! I'm not saying that.


Yep. Those bailiffs can be a bastard to get rid of can't they? Anyway, save all that for 'This is your life' we're talking horses and stables.



Ohh...you missed that one. It's a game apparently, and yesterday our foreign players scored more goals than your foreign players, which made us feel all patriotically northern. I did tell you the world's absurd.
