....and follow eco-warriors (as they fly around the world to tell everyone of their annoyance and superiority)



Disclaimer
I cycle a greater distance each year than I drive so my conscience is clear*.

Admission
I also probably fly a greater distance each year than I drive


(* so I'm keeping a copy of that tax reminder next time a neanderthal shouts at me about 'paying road tax' when I'm on a bike wink )

Never seen a leather mouse cover before.

Looks like it has a good plate....whatever it is.

I have two cars on the road and pay nothing; does that mean she's my bestest friend?

Not nearly as much as she's annoying you by the sound of it.

That's cheaper than my Jag. And I don't cycle or fly, if I'm paying that much road tax I'm having my money's worth!

'cos he said, "Mein Gott!" and "Himmel!" and "Donner und blitzen!" when he opened the envelope?

I'm sure I've seen some cars have a £735 charge annually.

You need to try harder I think!

I thought maybe he'd seen his helmet. Maybe he likes a big spike!

If you’re struggling to afford it you could sell your pen. My Bic doesn’t quite afford me that luxury.

Never understood the middle aged mans strange obsession with personally offending Greta Thunberg by having a car that emits marginally more CO2 than another one ?

She is trying to help reduce environmental damage, seems a noble enough cause, we need to think about it, be realistic whilst making good choices and still enjoying ourselves. She would love you anyway, as you cycle everywhere, she will forgive you a bit of CO2.

Absolutely not. Surely annoying Greta should be high on any petrolheads agenda?

Wouldn't that be Hans, not hun? Hun would be Attila's lot from mid-Asia about 1,500yrs ago?
