Old cars
I am not a car enthusiast, far from it, just look at our car and you will realise that! However we do see them every day on our roads, lots of them, and so one has to consider them a little. And today I just want to think about the design. Years ago they were much more interesting, fins, wings, chrome, bumbers, mudguards, different shaped lights and lamps, doorhandles, the list goes on, and of course includes the general shape of the car. Each was different and had its own character. Nowadays the designs of most cars are totally characterless with aggressive grilles and pointed headlamps. The most interesting thing about them is their names: ‘Terroriser’, ‘Raptor’, ‘Dirt Devil’, ‘Cruncher’, you know the kind of thing I mean. I am sure the cars of today are themselves, with all their computerisation, are better than they were (until you start to try and repair one), but I bet that not one of them will be lovingly cared for by an enthusiast twenty or thirty years from now. There is nothing at all to love about them. So I suppose that’s good. But it’s sad in a way because the damn things won’t rust away like they did thirty years ago! Answer to yesterday’s: c). If you have made a pigs ear of something, you have done it badly.And today’s:A ‘busman’s holiday’ is …a) a kind of holiday campb) a holiday which isn’t a holiday at all because you do your job while on holidayd) a holiday where you drive a camper van all around the countrysidec) where all the drivers from the bus company get together and go on holiday with their wives and families., ‘This is a rather unusual saucepan. Or is it a saucepan at all? It’s too big to be a mug and rather too small to be a chamber pot. So, it has to be a saucepan. That’s what Junko uses it for anyway, and I hope its previous owner didn’t use it as a chamber pot!!“In for a penny, in for a pound.”
