Oh, I read about these cute but environmentally disastrous little fellows in the paper yesterday. Apparently it's only a matter of time before they will be as ubiquitous on the streets of Bombay as I-Pods are over here. And shortly after that everyone in India will start wanting to upgrade to four-by-fours, and then we're really in trouble.
But then, as the article concluded, why shouldn't 'they' have cars if 'we' aren't about to give ours up...
Joella had a box over a two-stroke lawnmower for many years. It was a 2CV called (possibly) Cherry. I assumed it was nostalgia for it that lay behind the outpouring of desire for the Tata?

Yes it's Jonathan by the way. When I have to comment using that 'typekey' thing it changes my display name...
Erm, have you thought about putting a box over a 2-stroke petrol lawn-mower. It seems to me that there's not much in it.

Dammit Charlie, you're right. I hate it when you're right. I will have to examine this desire in more detail.
