Matt 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Anyone see the Top Gear caravan feature? I know they stage these things but they didn't even try to make it look real...... Used to go away in a caravan when I was little, was canny. That said, I won't be buying one ever. It's only fun when the parents do the work! And if you cant do 65-70mph towing, you shouldn't be towing (yes I know technically 60 is the limit). Edited July 20, 2006 by Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6308 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Funny you should bring up caravans, I had a massive debate with one of the blokes from work who has one. I reckon the fucking things should be taxed - he says not! 162361[/snapback] wow, a real in-depth debate, the likes of which we haven't seen since Disraeli and Gladstone 162378[/snapback] You got the succinct version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2929 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 And for only the price of your daily coffee you can be safe in the knowledge that after you're dead your love ones won't have to worry about your funeral! But I'll be fucking dead you moron! What will I care???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 and those fuckers don't pay road tax. oh and obviously Caravans are only bought by people too tight to pay for a hotel and too middle class to use a tent. 162334[/snapback] That's the bloke I work with except being a Scouser, pseudo-middle class is more appropriate.

Happy Face 29 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I always thought it was to force the person serving you to ring it through the till to get change. Otherwise they could pocket a round number. People rarely have the exact amount when it's £x.99 Might be wrong like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I had this old bag in front of me at B&Q the other night who was buying a single 2 inch screw. 32p it was, so she rummages around in her purse for the right money until about 5 minutes later it dawns on her that as a pensioner she's got a discount card. Cue 5 more minutes of her hunting that out. For the sake of a 10% reduction on 30p, 3 fucking pence!! I was going fucking mental behind her. In the end I said I'd treat the old dear and told her to spend the money on a packet of werthers originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
