Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
You can imagine the mess! 
1959 was a vintage year.
Issigonniss launched the Austin Mini Seven, and in great British tradition, it was under *developed, poorly engineered and still a great success for 40 years.
*My dad had one that leaked from the floor when it rained and had 3 gearboxes under warranty.
I remember seeing one or two early Mini badged as Austin Seven.
There was a Morris Mini Seven and an Austin Mini Seven, and later a BLMC mini and a leyland mini, and eventually a Rover mini. all as shite as the last. (Says the man who despite his father's advice owned 4 at different times. (2 at once)
Do not forget also the Riley Elf and the Wolsey Hornet, one of the latter, a 1968 Hornet III we had in our car collection for 6 years.
Horrible things.
The genetic mutations of the car world.
liverpool won at football
they are being paid by the government to stay at home
somewhere is a scouser with a lamp and one more wish
I always thought all Scouser were paid to stay at home, it's called "Benefits" or for us not quite as old as Opti,Unemploymentdole.
Well I need a rest when I die so if it involves being busy I’ll just stay alive
Well, he could be busy being dead💀
As the old saying goes......you're certainly a long time dead.
At some point in the future I will be longer dead than alive.
I concur about squeezing into a metal tube with hundreds of others in order to get somewhere, but I will suffer it once in a while if I really have to.
A cruise on the other hand is my idea of hell on earth. I would rather jump off the side of a cruise ship than have to spend weeks sailing around on one.
As for driving to places from Calais ! You do know its in French France, which is full of French people dont you ?
Ive done a fair bit of foreign travel in the past, but I cant see much, if any of it on the horizon in the future. Just cant be arsed with it tbh.
I havent even bothered going back to Norn Irn in the five years since I went over for 12 hours to attend my Dads funeral.
I used to say that until I tried one many years ago. Love to cruise now though, only 10- 14 days, and only luxury ones. Made some very good friends over the years.
I would not cruise now with C-19.
I suppose it is entirely possible the old boy has had a meeting with the grim reaper.
