to take the piss out of 4x4s

Picked dd up from school today, she pointed at I think a Landrover Freelander (I'm not an expert) in the car park, and said 'why is that there?'

I said 'maybe they're a farmer'.

Said vehicle had clearly been the subject of regular waxing, leather interior, and so on and looked the shiniest vehicle in the car park, so this was obviously not the case, certainly not in this area.

DD said 'maybe they built that building there?'

'Maybe', I said.

I could say 'because some people make inappropriate and antisocial car choices'.

But taking the piss seems better?

poppyamex shame on you for your poor joke.
I didnt mention tinted windows, I was talking about people.
Nice try.

Wasn't my joke, it was Math's brilliant comeback to your dramatic yell of "I see through you" and I thought her comedic timing was perfect Grin

Oooh Exit...I am about 5 mins from you.

No cow shit on me though...lets meet in Upper Mill for cupcakes.

Poppy, it was a brilliant comeback by Math I agree!

Prudence, I am quite concerned for you. Why do you feel the need to try and exert your frustrations and vitriol to a bunch of strangers on the internet? Really, you should try and calm down a little and stop caring quite so much.

jjuice Ooh Uppermill, about 20 mins over the hill for me but DH works 5 mins away in Diggle!

Although I have been "sticking up" for 4x4s on this thread, I don't actually own one Just couldn't give a shit if someone else decides to buy one because they want one.

I have been thinking about purchasing a small 4x4 though, thought it may come in useful for the winter drives over to Diggle

Ooh get you lot and your new quiche. I have no 4x4 and I live in Worcestershire. What will I do? Sad

I have a pick-up truck..DP needs it for work and for when his shitty van won't start.
Oh we aren't Saddleworthians...I wish! But FIL lives in Upper Mill and I deliberately chose my physio there just for the cupcake shop nearby.

Sparkling..you will have to eat cheese on toast with worcestershire sauce and pretend.

Thanks jj. Sad

Cupcake shop????????? Envy

The cupcakes from the cupcake shop are very sickly. They would turn you green. The cakes at the garden centre are nicer.

I can't believe we have a Saddleworth Quiche. How exciting.
