...to think that if you drove a less flashy and more fuel efficient car.....

....then you wouldn't have to almost come to blows with someone else over an item on the final reductions rail in M&S?

As witnessed this morning at my local retail park. Woman concerned was driving a massive Land Rover/Range Rover -the flashy WAG sort not a practical mud-splattered one. Later seen having a stand-off with another customer as to who had picked the reduced item up first.

I found it quite amusing TBH so thought I'd share! (intending a tongue-in-cheek thread not a huge kick-off about 4x4s etc BTW)

She probably spent twice the value of the item concerned on petrol to get there

When viewed upside down. Not as ugly as they used to be, in fairness, but my approach to cars has always been based on "does it have four wheels? does it work?".

Alas, gone are the days, let's now collectively agonise about the environment and fuel prices (best BKI tax deal on the list, so that did it for me... did I mentioned the furballs are from angora cats? I need to be able to afford those!).
