borrow some toilet roll from my parents

The idea of borrowing toilet roll is a bit much chap... I know making content is difficult at the moment, but please god don't film the moment when you return the used toilet roll to them! That's a stoop too low

Ok, borrowing might *not* involve returning the same ones

Content is content.

Really disappointed with the latest Harry’s Garage MG video ..

Seems to be totally misrepresenting the car as a a genuine MG product when it was a creation by an after market company

He states the 2 litre engine is a development of the original 1.8 .. when in fact it’s actually a Mazda engine and that a previous owner has fitted aftermarket electric windows !

The car was built by frontline engineering in Abingdon in 2014 and is a recreation

Very disappointed, expected better from Harry

What a very odd statement.

Are you his School teacher or his Mother?

Ah ok .. looks like I’ve been had then, though I can’t say April fools was on the top of my mind this year

And no, I watched it about half way through .. on the 2nd April



Although I do believe if you pull the joke after midday on the 1st the joke is in the joker

@Tim I'll do you a pack of triple ply lavendar scented in exchange for a shout out

The Bloodhound LSR team have put out a short video comparing their car to a Chiron, F1 and "family car" in a simulated drag race.

Worth 60 seconds of anyones time.

You're underselling the value of loo roll I think!

[pincher]

I have to say that I’m a bit disturbed that Shmee said he borrowed some loo roll from his parents. In my book, borrowing something means you plan on returning it - I’m sure his ‘rents wouldn’t want that

To be honest, yes, that stuff is like gold dust right now. Can't even make use of any of the home delivery services because for central London they are all totally booked up plus should really be saved for the elderly and more vulnerable.

You might have 10 cars worth well into 7 figures but I have an unopened pack of 18 supersoft in my personal storage (airing cupboard). Who's laughing now eh?

FWIW, if you can get to a costco they're very well stocked, in my area at least (Watford and Stevenage)

Road trip in the Senna to buy bog roll - they probably have some in stock in the Cotswolds somewhere, you could make a video whilst you did it!

Getting to a Costco is easy, getting inside is a different matter

Sorry you feel duped, it was only meant to be a bit of fun for 1st April and judging by the majority of comments generated on YouTube, most seemed to enjoy the tease, especially in these strange times.

Even so, I don't want to cause upset so I've tweaked the title, which now says vid was first published on the 1st April, to let new viewers know there's a twist to the review, revealed right at the end of the video.

Thanks for watching.
