My last SOC was an A reg Astra that I paid £75 for. It cost just under
£200 to get through the MOT and it lasted me for three years. Never
needed any work doing other than changing tyres.

It doesn't bother Pip nor I when we park a SOBelmont, SORenault 21 and a
SOTransit van up our road amongst all the Mercs and BMWs. Why should it
bother you?

I saw a Smart in plod livery the other day - blue and yellow battenbergs and
the blue lights on top.

Hmm...

The crappest 2CV you can find that still runs, always park it with one wheel
up on the kerb and refer to it in conversation as "the convertible". Also,
see if you can work in a reference to "peeling back the scab".

if they arrest someone, do they use the roof-rack?

 

Cuff them to the hitching rail and make 'em run behind.

Well you gotta ask yerself which gives you more pleasure. Everyone knows
you can just walk into a shop and buy a bike but perhaps the OP is at
the stage in life where he thinks he won't get another shag if he gives
up his missus.

 

As I recall, Mash is about 22... he's still got time to earn money for one
of Cane's ladies.

Bike definitely.

 

...and his unholy minions feed on seed cake.

 

it's really the marzipan I object to, but in general I don't like dry
sponge cake[1]

[1] having been weaned on buttered "Boil Cake" in NI.

 

You don't like marzipan?

22? Christ, I was fighting 'em off at that age!

Yup.

 

I was weaned on some very dry seed cakes, without the panacea of butter,
that sucked out your very life force when ingested.
