Re: Beware the cows!
And apparently she was not just driving a car but a Toyota Yaris; and not just any old Toyota Yaris but a £9000 Toyota Yaris. Now I can understand naming the car; after all the effect of a herd of cows on a Land Rover would be quite different to the effect on a Robin Reliant. But why do we need to be told that it cost £9000? Are Yaris's available in the price range £1.50 to £100,00 0? Is it that we need to know the price of everything nowadays; people don't just live in houses, or even big houses; no, they live in £600,00 0 houses. Is it to give us some clue as to the wealth of the driver so that we can adjust our degree of sympathy according to our prejudices?
