He could have bought his house for not much more than he's paying for the three year lease.

He's a really good mate. We've been caravanning all over the country for 20 years, holidays abroad etc. Our kids have grown up together. We just have different priorities I suppose. He probably thinks I'm mental just as much as I think he's mental.

What did we actually expect, though? Run by the same ethnicities as the whole country and several major metropolitan areas. They do not share our cultural values. Not a racist slant but a practical and factual one. They don't care about stuff like this, that's all. They move on and to fuck with the heritage.

Oddly enough, Land Rover products are really popular with the blacks in ZA.

Strange when back in the 80s there used to be the South African joke.

Q. What do you call six kaffirs in the back of a Land Rover?

People seem to be saying this is bad news - but there is an upside -
Wheeler Dealer star and Used Car Awards host Mike Brewer said the news was a huge shock.

Speaking exclusively to Car Dealer, he said: ‘The news honestly makes me want to vomit. I am totally and utterly shocked.

He clearly has a low threshold regarding bad news.
