New Car Pickup Drama

[Wighty]

Excellent, time to move on and enjoy the car as you should. The £1k will certainly cover a good detail and some change left over!

I will get the sponge out for £850

Yes car is great so far. Think we made the right choice to go for this model. It is mainly for the wife to drive. I am confined to public transport to get in to work, so only really get a chance to drive on weekends. Nice seating position, smooth and responsive enough.
Really enjoying the Android Auto feature, seamless integration with the smartphone meaning have the ability to use Google Maps on screen - which for us is a big plus. Our previous cars with COMAND, we have always had to find a place to balance our phone and use Google Maps, so this system is a game changer for us!

A nearby farmer has an expensive luxury large 4x4.

Whereas other similar 4x4's are immaculate, over the months his has accumulated several scrapes and minor dents, and a new one recently appeared.
Money doesn't enter his reckoning when he buys things, so when he was asked why he did not get the dents fixed, his reply was typical of a weathy man.

He said, 'I'll wait till it gets a few more, then get them all fixed at the same time.'

I thought most Farmers were poor as they are always pleading poverty and complaining about removal of EU subsidies!

I've never met a poor farmer but they all plead poverty and take whatever subsidies they can, can't see why all our politicians on both sides of the fence feel sorry and bend over backwards for them. There my rant over .

Rose's cousin is a farmer and he definitely isn't wealthy. Whilst there are definitely some wealthy farmers not all are.
