Have you thought about a beard ?

I've sported a beard* for a few years. When I had hair the facial hair of choice was some marvellously large and luxurious sideburns. I was keeping the 70's Rock star look alive in the 2000s.

Regarding the a to b programme, I do wonder how much of what was said, such as the rep moaning like fuck about his Maestro, was put on for the cameras

Anyway, I'm not interested in all your opinions.

My view is, you'd have to be clinically insane to pcp a car.

As long as it's clean, you can rest it anywhere x

It's the telly, EVERYTHING is put on for the cameras.

We wouldn't be talking about it if he'd said, 'the cavalier was a bit better'.

That's true, we had a programme made about us a few years ago called on the Yorkshire Buses and a lot was staged or blown out of proportion. One thing which did annoy people a bit was the finished programme was all about Hull and Scarborough seafront, the outer depots barely had a mention, apart from someone being sent to cover a run and getting lost ?. He is now retired but still gers the piss taken out of him over it ?

And about 300,000 people pay 27% of the UK's entire income tax take. Oh and about 44% of workers pay no tax at all. 

I suspect those 300,000 people have 60% of the wealth!

Looks more like the top 15% own 60%. 

"In April 2016 to March 2018, the top three wealth deciles held 76% of all wealth in Great Britain, while the bottom three wealth deciles held 2%. The top 10% wealth share was 45% in April 2016 to March 2018, largely unchanged since July 2006 to June 2008.5 Dec 2019"

Obvioulsy this is partly down to older people having more years of earning under their belt.

I was doing my self assessment yesterday.  

Whilst in my on line tax account, I noticed I could check my old age pension estimate. 

Seems both me and my wife have already  paid enough national insurance to qualify for a full pension in about 15 years time.  

Which is over £9k each. 

Add that to the various private pensions we have, which are not great, but should add a similar amount, I no longer fear getting old. 

May not be on an index linked final salary scheme, from the civil service, but will not starve.  I no longer give a shit about whether I'm in the top or bottom 10%.

A neighbour of mine has two hybrid SUV jobs.

During lockdown, I had to jump start my mk4.5 Mondeo TXS estate, and I met with the “car trouble?” question. Which I answered back with a not really, but it hasn’t moved for a couple of months.

They are nice people, but they clearly look down on my 8 year old Ford, 28 year old MR2 Turbo and 16 year old Rexton. 
But hey, they are all mine and it is always amusing when you encounter people like that and the subject of spec comes up.

The new cars are bought for higher spec and power, apparently. The last time I had that conversation, said new car didn’t have radar cruise control and cooled seats like my Mondeo and the 28 year old Toyota one could easily tear it a new arsehole, whilst I can throw all manner of rubble etc, transport MTBs, dogs etc etc in the Ssangying and not get fined by the bank, when I hand it back with a few scratches on the boot plastics.

This makes me laugh. I’m of the opinion of each to their own and I hate finance, but you don’t need to put down other people’s choices, whatever they may be.

those lovely polished amg wheels appear magnetised to curbs already

Kerbing the wheels is on you, no-one else.

Two of my three cars have perfect wheels. The only reason the other doesn’t is because I don’t give a fuck about it.

I’ll never understand seeing almost every car going, with gutter rashed wheels.

Is this the same skeleton that likes wanking in a biscuit tin or a different one? ?

I think it’s one of the two that likes sword fighting in the biscuit tin, maybe?

All I care about is that there are enough people who want to buy a new car, and expect to keep it long enough to make it worth looking after. 10 - 15 year old premium cars which are worth sod all, but have been looked after are where its at.
