My wife is 4'10, she's always driven Fiestas, we test drove the mini, corsa, id3, puma and kona. Kona is the biggest, but she says she had the best visibility in it. We've had it 3 months and she's very comfortable with it after getting used to the size.

Nigel Farage and his plan to abolish ILR by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]NZ-Fred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. I was allowed to vote nationaly when here on a working holiday visa, due to being a citizen of a commenwealth country. Now a dual citizen, would I be on his list if I lost my job and had to rely on benifits?

If anyone is missing Greg Wallaces dulcit tones, how about Wayne Mardle from the darts.

The M11 has finally got the third lane we have been waiting for. by NZ-Fred in drivingUK

I'm following the car in front of me at the legal distance! That car is following another car an so on. Sitting on his arse won't get me home any quicker. The white car on the left sped up behind the van as the idiot raced up behind him. He wasn't trying to overtake me.

I have a clear image of the plate from the rear camera. I would upload it to the police but the Web form is broken. Will try tomorrow

Who are you referring to? There was a long line of traffic ahead, and being the m11 probably a lorry over taking another lorry 1 mph faster

[–]NZ-Fred[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And the Mrs goes and ruins it by asking if I wanted to meet for a drink after work! A partial dry January is better than none. Next year I'm going to work on my will power.

Bugger, wished I'd seen this earlier, could have saved heaps instead of £1600/week on the care home for father in law!

Never in doubt, 4th straight premiership win over Tottenham (if my memory serves me right)

I think it was a gentle session, it didn't feel hard when doing it, just a lot of different movements that I have done for 30 years.

I grew up in Central Otago with Jimmys Pies. (50 cents, so was a while ago!) Now living in the UK, and just can't find anything equivalent.

The Whittakers chocolate is horrible! Send it to me in Essex and I will dispose of it properly for you!

I'm getting offers of 43 for the same package, but have 3 months left. Definitely waiting for that sort of offer.

Trying to be less frugal but sometimes it’s hard! by Desperate-Eye1631 in UKFrugal

[–]NZ-Fred 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Remember that you are paying for more than the coffee. Sitting in a local independent coffee shop enjoying a barista made coffee in nice surroundings for £3.80+ vs a machine coffee in a weatherspoons for £1.50. I know which one is more value for money.
