......
As for the bonnet opener, I recall some legislation ........

Just looked at both of our Audi's and although the bonnet release is in view, you can't pull it with the door closed as it hits the door card. Well well, you learn something new everyday.  :y
On the Alabama Mumsybus, it's easier to face the back of the car and reach back under the dash to pull the lever with your right hand than to try and get it facing forwards. Can't see me physically managing to release it from the driver's seat :-\

Legislating for stupidity, like everything else.

If mine had such a system, as I have to park so close to a wall and can't open the passenger door, I wouldn't be able to open the bonnet.

If they changed the name from Vauxhall Grandland to Vauxhall Gangbang I reckon they may be able to tap into a new market.

Stronger tints on the windows is all that is needed. :)

But, lets say the reason I wanted to open the bonnet was because the battery was flat, or the engine was buggered....

I suppose I could knock the house down, as that is every bit as sensible as this stupidity!

I think they got confused. That's how much it costs per week to support it.

It costs money to check that a man is not pregnant before a procedure. All in the interest of DEI of course.....diversity, equity, inclusion.

It wasnt actually promised anything. The slogan read " We pay the EU £350 million per week".  "Lets fund the NHS instead".

However, the UK NHS budget at the time was £145billion per annum.
It is now £180 billion per annum, so do the math as the septics say.   ;)

I've never understood how this was interpreted as some kind of manifesto promise.  :-\

Really?  The implication is definitely there, in language that would struggle to say otherwise in any court of law, if anyone CBA....

...obviously, as a Remain supporter, I, along with most Remain supporters, knew it was utter bullshit, and as a country, we would never see any of that £350m, namely because we got the vast majoirty of it back for EU funded projects in the UK.  But your average Brexit supporter wasn't the brightest spark in the fire and believe every piece of crap that came out of the slimey little shits like Farage, JRM, and latterly Boris....    ....like £350m to the NHS, and no more illegals.
