Made their minds up about 4x4 drivers? What are the common thoughts on 4x4 drivers?
I drive a 4x4 everytime it's snowed I've pulled buses up hills, cars out of ditches, and even took a group of very cold people stood at a bus stop into town because there was no way that bus was getting to their little village bless their optimistic ideas. I also regularly (even though as a lass you need to be careful) stop if I see a classic car broken down and one time a cyclist who'd broken his chain and dropped him off at a pub with phone signal so his friend could come and get him.
I use it to recover the fire engines and other exhibits I work with. You just can't do that with a Peugeot 206!
Oh; and because this is a gardening forum; I can get 2 ton of well rotted horse muck in the back. Always useful.
Have to agree about quoting, especially when all you get at the end is a smiley or a LOL. I don't get smileys either. We have so many words available.
Have to agree about 99.9% of modern art and impressionism. Monet was a master at churning out the same old haystacks and water lilies because he knew the US market in particular would lap them up. Claimed to be studying the light in all its different qualities! Good con.
Have to agree about bridge players being precious. There are many women's clubs in Brussels for various nationalities and I have seen at the British and Commonwealth, as well as heard that disturbing the hush at the Americans', is only done by the very brave or the impervious on Bridge Day.
I don't get people exceeding speed limits on country lanes like ours where you can't see what's round the next bend. Even the bus drivers do it here.

I miss my 4x4 - getting along some of those rough glen roads in an ordinary car isn't great
I live beside a very wealthy suburb - full of mums in their immaculate 4x4s which are used to take the kids to school and lunch with their friends. They also have no idea what size they are, so they take the view that if they drive up the middle of a narrow road, they're ok...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Yours is a real 4x4 Clari
Nowadays there are some cars that just pretend, like normal cars but on steroids
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Fairygirl, I'd love that head in my garden.
Dove, it's be lovely where I wanted the Barbra Hepworth, don't you think.
Clari could use one of her trucks to bring it here and her 4x4 to move " the rock" while she's about it eh?
Perfect solution Hosta - she can sort it when she has that holiday she's planning for

Thanks Dove, glad we've got that sorted.
If I ever fill up my Peugeot Boxer with bags from Waitrose, I'll know I've spent too much money. ( even with discount)

Plenty of great modern art: Lucian Freud and David Hockney for starters.
