Wife and daughter need to get to Yorkshire - Simple?
Discussion
this thread continues to deliver.
I live in Yorkshire, no one is going to be impressed with a Porsche SUV turning up. we don't do displays of wealth here. That's for the soft southern lot.
Turn up in a 20 yr old Volvo, or a classic, or on a tandem pushbike, or on foot, people will want to talk to you, it'll start a conversation- especially if yr volvo has cost you nowt and done 200K. turn up in a Porsche, you're a show off.
As some context, my sisters employer is a billionaire. She's sat in a stately home in North Yorkshire right now, in some 14,000 acres. What does she get conveyed in ? An old lexus SUV thing.
My business partner sold his Bentley- always wanted one: finally got one, had to get shut, sick of people poking fun at him----------- plus up here, no one likes to think their money has paid for the flash car yr driving.

I disagree,I'm over the hill from you but providing the owner isn't stuck up.
A new Rolls pulled up in our local town and the owner bought fish and chips, and sat on the wall to eat them.
Providing you are down to earth, no one cares in my experience.

WHY HAS DAVE NOT REPLIED??
Or was it a wind up from page 1?
Probably logged back in after 5 pages of abuse, 2 or 3 useful replies and thought "fOr was it a wind up from page 1?
k this"OP, a genuine olive branch here as I think I have a decent solution.

There was an old diver called Dave,
Who's wife didn't know how to behave.
In a mini she travelled,
Their marriage unravelled,
And now he's on a yacht, with someone half his age, sipping pina coladas and wondering why he didn't do this 10 years ago.
I think I nailed it.
This one is my favourite. Nicely done. Who's wife didn't know how to behave.

Profanity in the final line would have made it perfect, but I realise that you poets don't always think like we more prosaic folk.
