I honestly can't understand why anyone would want to defend idiots in gas-guzzling 4x4s who are wrecking the peace and quiet of what countryside we have left. As far as I'm concerned, if I came across one of these brain-deads upside down in a ditch I'd be sorely tempted to dance a jig on their undercarriage whilst waiting for the emergency services.   As you've got me all fired up, I'd also ban motorhomes completely on the grounds that the idiots who drive them should probably be in institutions anyway, and I'd tax towed caravans at £10000 per annum and restrict them to between two and five in the morning, under pain of confiscation. I feel sorry for all of us in Cornwall who have to put up with these abominations, but I feel even sorrier for those poor neighbours who have to put up with an ugly great big caravan next door to them that stays there for 50 weeks of the year.
