    Worried it will affect the value, worry no more "IT WILL MAKE ZERO DIFFERENCE".  Unless you sell too someone trying to
    rip you off.  If a buyer mentions the scandal and wanting a discount tell them to buy something else.

    So someone driving a filthy fume spewing Mercedes past my house has stunted my tree and killed my fish, and they get the compo- How does that work?

    EDIT: Got it now, having to look at my hideously deformed tree, and smell my dead fish is offensive to a Mercedes Driver, so they need compo for having to bear the trauma of gazing upon the damage they caused..
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

     I found it hilarious.  And the thing is that when their claims fail they get paid anyway.
