Anyhoo, under the cash laundering rules, do you actually believe that a garage would accept a couple of hundred thousand pounds in cash for a car?
So I really don't understand your point  |
You amaze me, in all my life I have never seen an advertisement that made me want to go and shop in Leeds, in the past I have been persuaded to shop in Sheffield and other places in Yorkshire but Leeds was a place I skirted on route to shop somewhere else, Leeds never came across as a shopping venue to me for some reason, weird.
It's nice to know that a Northerner could buy a new prestige car whilst keeping the money “Up North” even though I think that buying an expensive car is like having your hat nailed on, the word “Victim” comes to mind.
Personally I am more than satisfied with my 'Local Link' taxi service, 6.30AM – 10PM six days a week, 2½ miles 80p one way or £1.20p return, more suiting to my nature of being a tight old git.

Some days it's hard to breathe round here or even think.At least oop north you have some terrific open spaces where you can get away from everyone...

Time was when people could work all week and then get away from it all by going out on Sunday for a drive over the 'Tops', but these days, despite many families having two or three cars, the running costs together with their other debts conspire to make the use of the car limited to travelling to and from work. All very sad really.
