    That depends very much on your perspective. If you are a Fiat Earther you may well drive off the edge.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Don`t think there have been that many SD holidays?

    A Fiat Earther? I don't think their theories have much currency these days!
    I once had a Fiat van. The way bits of it came off in one's hand was enough to make the prospect of driving it off the edge of somewhere a distinct possibility.

    About the only way some Italian cars would break the speed limit is to drive them off a cliff...

    Fiats are simply awful. How do they have the cheek?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    the rate of price rises slowed last month.  That's a lot different to saying prices 'will come down' - no sign of that at all.
    Transactions will though, unless they extend again?

    Ultimately the only price that matters is the one you pay.
