Oh no! Swmbo would slaughter me if I didn't walk up to Lidl.

The only time I take the car in there is when I need to check my oil level. Nice big flat car park you see.

Got an electric push bike for local shopping, its great.

Golf buggy ??

I don’t think that would be quite fast enough to negotiate the local race track, oops sorry, I mean main road.

rear badges, door trim, etc.

I like badges on cars that show the model sometimes, but I also badges that show power i.e. C63, E63, M3. But, why do you need to show that you drive a cleaner diesel i.e. the Blue Efficiency badge? As for the plastic chrome trim, did that ever look good?

Mis-quoted from there - Blazing Saddles - 1974 had it as "Badges?we don't need no stinking badges"

Sorry John, I'm afraid Russell has the correct answer there, I should have warned you there was a twist in the tail. Everyone of a certain age, generation (aye ok, us, lol), goes for the classic, T of TSM, but, as Russell said it's the classic misquote, gets them/us every time. Cleck also gave a significant clue with his comment about the Waco Kid.
