    The local Jagwagh dealer[1] down the road has put some huge vinyl
    lettering signs up in their windows to advertise the current Jags.

    Highlights are:

    "New 2.2 Deisel X-Type"

    "0% Finance, Higher Purchase Also Available"

    In 2 foot high letters....

    I saw a fairly fit bird's tits fall out of the bottom of her crop-top
    as she reached up to get a tin of paint in B&Q last week.

    This is the 2nd time I've seen such a thing there now - might start
    going more often.

    Nice.

    I got an e-mail from a manager at our place that works a 4 day week, in
    the footer it says - PLEASE NOTE: I do not work on Friday's"

    I'm really fighting the urge to respond with: Robinson Crusoe will be so
    relieved. But so far I've not done...

    You could also try the chiller cabinets at Sainsburys on a nice warm
    day. The blast of ice cold air as the same fit birds walk past does
    wonders for their pokey-out bits.

  12. Unreal. I remember when Dutton Forshaw in Preston were doing the
    cheapest Citroen Picassos in the country - had all (9 or 10 at a guess)
    their windows plastered with decals several foot tall, bright red lettering.

    except they'd not noticed "Piccaso" in the proof reading stage.

    I wouldn't have thought that would have mattered too much in Preston.

    You are SteveH and I claim my 5 free trips in a devastatingly fast cross
    country weapon (based on the VW Golf floorpan).

    "New 2.2 Deisel X-Type"

    There is a health shop near me that offers Complimentary medicine as
    opposed to Complementary. It must be head ache pills that tell you how
    attractive you are as you get them out of the box.

    The best is in Scorton, they have a plaque on which Millennium only has
    one "L"

    I concur, it's the main reason I got out of the motor insurance industry.

    Care in the community is fatally flawed, the loonies are amongst us.

    Can't see the problem, I've worked on the railway for some years and
    dealt with the little darlings all that time and seem to cope fine.

    The Fiat commercial vehicles dealership around the corner has a
    demonstrator 16 seat minibus often parked in a quiet side road next to
    their premises. It's proudly painted up with the words:

    "Your following a 16 seat Ducato minibus" on the back.

    The temptation to affix a printed sign reading "illiterate fuckwit"
    over the last part of the sentance is almost too much to bear.

  20. Ah, but you're isolated from most of the time and know that many of them
    wanted to be you [1] when they grew up.

    [1] or somebody like you.
