God that crappy Peugeot ad is on the TV, "how to reduce your carbon tyre print.....buy a brand new car" Feckwits. Of all the excuses for crying out loud!

It really really annoys me for some reason. Probably cos most of the new pugs are pig ugly.
sorry just had to get that off my chest.

If it bothers you you should complain to the ASA citing the fact that more pollution is caused by the manufacture of cars than by the use of them, that the advert is thus dishonest, and that, in order to really reduce carbon emissions, car manufacturers should all stick to making parts to keep existing cars roadworthy rather than building whole new cars.

Inexplicably, I can't get the image of a woman's forearm tattooed with a big anchor out of mind.

But you're smoking a pipe and wearing a sou'wester whilst typing this right? Maybe having a brief squeeze of an accordion to bang out a 'shanty'?

the only way to reduce your carbon footprint is to buy a 335d and map it

Dude, I think you'll find she works on the rigs not on sailing ships. Us rig workers refer to rigs as 'going offshore,' sailors refer to 'going to sea'.
