    Could it be a close relationship between the usable parts of a prostitute and the distinct similarity to many 4x4 drivers?

    :rotfl:

    He he...

    Workshop humour :D

    Now you MUST have some stories for that thread I've started, you know, the one that's doing really really badly so far............. :D

    Or maybe suggestions on how to get dog sick out of car seats.

    4x4's have plenty of room for dogs - guess we're back to the prostitute thing again...

    It dawned on me after I got into bed last night - exactly what you meant and I think that is too strong and therefore, not funny, sorry.

    I got this one straight away, but thought it not worthy of a reply.
    Its disgusting, offensive & just plain nasty.

    I wouldn't let the opinion or comments of an idiot prompt you to waste your time replying.

    You know what they say anyway.....................

    You gotta be one, to know one;)

    So if you happen across one in your own home, say, and don't let them buy you food or pay a bill, then its legal................. :confused:

    No, it's still legal if money or goods change hands.

    "Prostitution - exchanging participation in sexual activities for money or other goods - has always been legal in the UK."

    There is a reasonable explanation here:

    http://www.sw5.info/law.htm

    The Law is strange, it's rather like the Law on CB radios (remember those ?), it was legal to own one but illegal to use it !
    It is legal to be a prostitute but how you do it may well be illegal.

    Just to get this thread back on track.........

    I am the proud owner of two 4x4's - large ones in fact - a Discovery 3 and a Mercedes GL (probably the biggest full size 4x4 on sale). The hatred of 4x4 in this country is completely irrational and based on fiction, lies and utter B*****t, usually coming from the mouths of politicians and the 'Green' lobby.

    The Government quite happily use them as an excuse to fleece the motoring public quoting the reason as Green/Environmental taxes - this is the biggest swindle ever perpetrated on the tax paying public.

    With regards to pollution - we need to put that into perspective
    Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere = 0.039% by volume FACT
    carbon cycle proportion of carbon dixoide contributed by mankind 3.4% (IPCC)
    UK contribution to global emissions 2% (DEFRA)
    Proportion of this due to cars = 16% (DEFRA again)
    So cars in the UK are responsible for 16% of 2% of 3.4% of 0.039% which is precisely b****r all. Globally - just take out the 2% and it increases from !!!!!! all to naff all.
    If you go further, and consider the devil's chariot (the 4x4) then as these make up 8% of UK car sales (SMMT) then they are responsible for 8% of 16% of 2% of 3.4% of 0.039% which is the square root of b****r all !

    Now where are these environmentalist????
