Sadly, a lot of younger drivers think Doug's right on the money there. :whistler:

In a perverse kind of way, there's a lot of truth in that missive.

Same goes for alcohol & tobacco - our government tax the arse off both commodities and now wonder why there's such a huge shortfall in excise revenue as more people abandon them and resort to drugs.

What really pi$$e$ young uns off is this.

I was looking at car insurance on Confused.com, for fun, after looking at a Focus RS while Mrs Ffoxy was speaking with the Ford Sales guy, I thought I'd see what the premium would be on a brand new 300Bhp version of said car...

All I did was change the car type from my Hyundai quote.

£194!  :Shocked: Comprehensive cover, protected NCB, Windscreen covered, loan car..

That's the annual Premium NOT the monthly payments by the way...

Hey folks it  is more scary than that driving in the Orient....

Like you get to an intersection and there are say 5 roads merging and overhead is a flyover - you need to check in all directions then look up 2 or 3 times to make sure no vehicle is falling off the overhead barrier...

Do not believe start driving in Bangkok and you will soon find out!
