And in a few months noone will give a stuff about them as before.Simon wrote: Wed Apr 29, 2020 8:35 pm My sister-in-law was at the local Sainsbury's petrol station yesterday. There was a lady in front in the queue in a paramedic uniform. When another couple noticed her they said they'd pay for her shopping. The assistant serving then said she'd pay for her petrol. The paramedic lady had a bit of a cry and everyone clapped a bit. Quite a sweet thing for her to witness.

This is an interesting one - there's no evidence that young children pass on CV19 to adults

I’ve test driven cars from dealers on trade plates without a salesman present a few times. Should I not have?mik wrote: Thu Apr 30, 2020 8:47 am Hmmm https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish ... tes/191239

Re: Coronavirus
In related news I’m still seeing a lot of stolen cars in lockdown, you’d have thought they’d be easier to catch but it’s seems there’s no deterrent. A Mustang went missing in London last night at 2am for example, hardly easy to shift on either whole or in parts. Lots of the local FB pages just as full of stolen car posts as there ever was.

I’ve driven lots of cars without a salesman in the car, but never with their trade plates on.
Re: Coronavirus
Oh go on then
My mate was in local Vauxhall dealer buying a Nova SR. He was doing paperwork and I was bored so I told a salesman I wanted to buy the nice shiney white Nova GTE that was sat outside. He got the keys for me and off I went. I was driving along through town following a window fitters van. He indicated left and stopped at the kerb, I waited for a car to pass and set off around him. At this exact moment he decided to perform a U turn and drove into me. The glass rack on the side of then van ripped open part of the front wing, passenger door and rear 3/4 panel. Whoops a daisy
Calls from phone box were made and salesman came up to meet us and exchange details with vandickhead. I drove back to the dealer to be met in the car park by a furious dealership owner who only became more furious when I told him I didn't want to buy it

Even if you think our response to covid19 is the worst in the world, at least our government isn’t trying to start ww3 by making claims like this
