Romantic drivers are a splinter group

Sorry sir, but your car's a shed

Happy Valentine’s day but how could it possibly be connected with motoring?
Ah, well you see there’s nothing like a press office for making the link, no matter how tenuous.
General Motors UK Fleet surveyed 8,500 people on-line to find out what they would do if given a car on the company’s three-day test drive scheme.

That includes the Hummer, by the way, which in German translates as lobster. I’ve been dying to tell someone that.
Over 50 per cent of men said a three-day romantic break. 45 per cent of women said the same while the others said they would use the car to find where their man had gone on his romantic break. And who he was with.
Cornwall was top choice. All those cliffs, crashing waves and hummers. Sorry, fresh lobsters.
To be honest I’m not very interested but it gives me the chance to mention a new ethical lingerie range made from wood. Oh yes.
Obviously first concern is the issue of splinters but the sustainable wood used by Sophie Young is broken down into fibres said to be as soft as silk with the feel of cashmere.
The g=9.8 range also assures wearers there will be no ‘unnatural deforestation.’ Quite.
What exciting times we live in. This puts a whole new meaning into boxer shorts let alone ‘getting wood’ as they say in Detroit. As indeed does knowing a hummer is a lobster.
