    We saw one we sort of liked an one that was just plain creepy. Have you noticed that cars have faces? Don't laugh. They do.
    We are starting to sort priorities. It's going to take ages and I know what'll happen. Oh bgggggr it. Just buy anything! In the spirit, if not the precise words of our glorious leaders: Get it done😠

    Took us 4 months and lots of looking at general shapes and "faces" and "bums" on the road and in car park before we went anywhere near a sales person.

    We only did that cos we had a second car and could schedule who was home alone while t'other went out to play.   Wouldn't have happened if we were already just a one car couple as we have disparate interests and outings and there's no public transport option here for any of our activities.

    Lol I thought I was the only one who thought cars could be creepy! As I don’t drive I’ve never had to go “shopping” for one, but I hate supposedly simple shopping like clothes and shoes, so I imagine it would drive me nuts. Had to look for a new handbag today and still don’t have one to replace the one with the broken zip.

    like the old one, had it for years
. Don’t want to replace it but can’t go to Paris with my iPad in a non zipped bag, so no choice! Why can’t they just keep selling the same styleđŸ˜€

    You have to bond with a bag you're going to use for years. @Jacquimcmahon. Another arduous task.😕

    I’m ordering a new car tomorrow. I know the make, the engine, the specification and the colour I want. It is my intention to be in and out of the showroom within 20 minutes.

    That sounds a good option of you've got a clue about what you want.

    I was getting ready to throw in the towel and scrap my campervan in favour of buying one that isn't rusty and broken but prices have gone through the roof. You can buy a whole house around here for less than the price of a new VW camper now. Any van with an MOT and a hastily built plywood bed in the back seems to fetch ÂŁ15k or more even if it has more than 200k miles on the clock. I think I picked the worst time in the history of British camping to sort this out
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    You could sell your rustbucket now at an inflated price and wait until people can go abroad for their holidays. Prices will plummet and Bob'syeruncle
