Bugsy Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Just read some of the advice given in this interview."Asked by Jeremy Vine what people should do when confronted by anti-social behaviour, Tony McNulty MP agreed that jumping up and down could help."http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/panorama/6241815.stm[:)][:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 They couldn't even have thought that one up on April 1st. Priceless.It could work - I think the sight of governemnt ministers jumping up and down would scare off just about any pice of asbo material.And there must be a joke about frogs in there somewhere.

Thibault Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 My first real car was a Ford Anglia (the first one was an old banger). I wanted one because I learned to drive in one! It was a brill car[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was flat out and screaming at 80mph, and ran on 4 remoulds about as wide as mountain bike tyres.Thanks for the avatar, but mine was one of those with "fins" and a sloping inwards rear window. <<Runs off to google to find a photo of one>><<Then returns to ask how to add it as an avatar[:$]>>The last photo I put onto another site was so HYOOOGE the page went weird and no-one could see it. Funny, it looked OK on Google.[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Anglia Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 [quote user="Dick Smith"]I used to have one of those, red and cream. Lovely car, but I wrecked it...[/quote]Accident? Mine was sold to finance my next beast, which I only had 8 months before swapping it for an Escort 1100 Deluxe. I wouldn't have wanted to see the base model if mine was "deluxe": no carpets, horrid plastic seats, no radio, speedo and fuel gauge only, etc.....[:(]Cheap to insure, though.

Dick Smith Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Mine was quite a nice one. I had two horrific moments - one when the lace on the steering wheel glove came loose and wrapped itself round an indicator stalk whilst I was going round a corner - nice! And one when I misjudged driving into a driveway and clobbered a very solid stone pillar. I had no money for repairs to the wing (the headlamp was now turned 90 degrees to the left and up a bit) and in the end got rid of the car. But I loved it. Cheap to insure and run - after all the engine and box were 30-year old designs, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
