Subject: RE: BS: Blind stupidity - TUC Congress
Friend of mine, technically a carer, disabled and skint has an ancient VW Golf as a winter car - currently off the road - an even more ancient Triumph Spitfire - intended to be the summer car when fixed - an elderly MGB GT in his father's garage and as an alternative summer car a Citroen 2CV [if it isn't a Dyane] which is kept about twenty miles from where he lives.

He had a bit of a glitch on the MoT [roadworthiness test certificate] for the Golf expiring before he thought it did. Declared that SORNed [legally off-road] before noticing that he needed a road-legal car to get the bits to fix the assorted deficiencies. I gave him a lift to the motor-factors back in June. Haven't seen him since, must enquire....

Certainly not a bloated plutocrat. Has an apparent ability to defy gravity, though.
