But Snort, you're hardly likely to win friends & influence people with a self-aggrandising anecdote that was demonstrably untrue.

You didn't identify which entity was pretty.

Are you trying to torment me? :(

Little hint: The car a person drives tells you very little about her finances.

 

Maybe she got the car while things were going well and is now stuck making payments she can't afford? Or maybe she was able to save a lot during the boom times, and is still reasonably comfortable?

 

On the flip side, the newest car in our household is 10 years old. Doesn't mean we're on the breadline. And just to add some more personal experience - my last car was a 30k Audi. Was I rich? Nope, it was my company car and the only reason I got it was that I offered to take a second hand car. It was collecting dust so I got dead lucky - probably an ex Senior Managers car, who was earning double what I was.

 

Damn I loved that car!

If people choose to look for a handbag shop in image search, you've cornered the market. And topping photography, too; you have captured the essence of Horncastle's retail offer.

 

You have been of great service to your community and you can be justifiably proud of your public-spiritedness. I will lobby for you to be offered the freedom of East Lindsey District.

 

<edit>Incidentally, I notice that you mention the 'pretty lady's' boyfriend ahead of her flashy motor. Perhaps he plays some role in stoking your righteous indignation?</edit>

Wouldn't be much point, it'd just be blurry and under exposed.

Are you suggesting that Alan's public-spirited gesture may, in this case at least, been partly spurred by lascivious thoughts of 'payment in kind', and that the spectacle of the delectable bag lady in the presence of Mr Muscles has put the kibosh on that? For shame, Mr Throb, for shame indeed!

That was indeed my inference, Mr. B. I thought it might have been a bit of a crush.

A bun to whoever can make a mashup of those faces.

 

I'd do it myself, but I fear that searching for at least two of those people would send our web proxy crazy. :-Y
