Two females (wife and neighbours wife) in my Defender 110 heading for a car boot sale in Ashford. Not too difficult, Maidstone to Ashford, M20 coast bound, about 20 miles, what could be simpler ?. How the friggin' ell do they end up in Orpington ? and The Landy is not LEZ Compliant so I'm expecting a £200 quid surcharge. Aaaaahhhhh spleen vented. Roy
Why would a Defender come under the LEZ? Ahh, heavy vehicle with diesel engine. That's why I had to get rid of my Transit.
Ashford is almost due East, Orpington is almost due west. 180 degrees wrong. Two x chromosomes explains it all. Women should not be allowed driving licences or allowed to drive unless under the direct supervision of someone with an xy chromosome. Roy
There was a big fuss about Land Rovers and the LEZ on all the Land Rover forums a while back... Apparently they are comercial vehicles as far as the powers-that-be in London are concerned... Crazy, but there you go... And don't even get me started about women Vs sat-nav !
I have no sense of direction I do have a nav and it had a woman's voice on it . No way .. I could not listen to that in my ear holes so I've changed it to Kevin the Australian I'm fine with him telling me what to do
Commercial? Really ? What about all these dire bling bling Range Rovers that look like a tarts handbag that wouldn't last through a Forest as they can't even get up a kerb? Commercial ?? Really ?? I'm shocked . Oooooh so this is why all the landys have been replaced by Nissan Jukes grrrr! Can't beat a proper landy but I wouldn't say a commercial vehicle .
Did they not realise when they passed all the junctions towards London! I live in Ashford so I suppose it's easy for me, although I don't get the whole car boot thing? Aren't people just trying to flog stuff that they would've previously chucked away??
Thats good to hear from a member of the fairer sex, I thought I might have been being a bit sexist when I did the same thing for the same reason
Bloody self scan woman gets on my nerves about time it became a man It's more tolerable I can't stand sat nav the woman gets on my nerves so demanding and I always get lost!! Give me a man anyway to navigate
Actually my wife is pretty damn good as a map reader. I dont use sat nav mutch as I generally know how to get places ok. Its finding the street once your there that its useful. But if i need a map reader then Wifey's as good as any bloke at it.
setting yourself up there Viv :wink: Re: woman's voice/sat nav/checkout - is it something to do with a higher pitch voice being more easy to hear? "Why Can't a Woman Be More Like a Man?" Rex Harrison - YouTube
I have Darth Vader as my voice on my rarely used TomTom App on my iPhone. "Bear Left to the Darkside" "You've arrived at your destination but you are not a Jedi yet"
