I will always prefer a powerful petrol engine to a glorified milk float, but free charging at work makes it work for me.
Doc Gollum. Dont choke on those sour grapes. 

I'm not sure that what you do counts as employment 

It's like an elderly aunt that gives you an allowance and in exchange, you visit periodically and consume all her tea and biscuits before having a nap on the sofa ready to head home again...

Whenever I see Camilla she reminds me of the ' batty mad aunt' who would have been locked in the attic and forgotten about in years gone by.

She reminds me of a third rate hooker who got lucky.

Nice work if you can get it! 

Very nice indeed when you get to my age. Hence I hope to carry on until Im 70.

It's a wage rise of sorts.

Thats how I look at it.

That sums it up pretty well to be fair. Although I do have to supply my own biscuits.
I think it balances out across my working life though. I did almost thirty years of physical graft before I ended up in this job, so swings & roundabouts.
It could be argued that if I had listened more at school (or even bothered to turn up half the time) I might not have had to do physical jobs until I was too breaked up to do it any more, but thats a different conversation for another day. 

It's another RRS , I wasn't fussy on either model but was particular  regarding service history & mileage paid my indi to travel over & inspect this one " you won't find a better one" were his words the seller took mine in part payment which was handy so did the deal yesterday, going in next week for a thorough health check, but I'm not expecting any issues, it's very fast compared to the TDV8 which wasn't a slouch by any means.👍

The British built (Welsh, I think)5.0 SC V8 is one of the great engines. These were fitted to both of my XFR 5.0SC......the second one was remapped and put out about 600BHP

Good choice.

Ford Bridgend and later JLR Wolverhampton 

This unit in the Project 8 was 600bhp from the factory (also in a proto facelift F-type SV that I had overnight but, sadly did not make production).....change the SC pullies and they can go quite a bit higher.

A healthy 725BHP with a bigger SC. What's not to like.

That was certainly the case at the last election. That and people not bothering at all gave them a huge majority, despite the fact they got less votes than they did when Corbyn got slaughtered by the electorate the previous time

Yep....it's called the loveless landslide.

Nobody rates the 'wooden individual' that is Starmer, but the Tories deserved and received a kicking from the voters.
