Hmmm, not sure really. (I do sometimes kick myself a little)


Perhaps, I was holding out for one of these:

which one are you referring to TLS???


(yes, I know I should be working but I decided to take the day off... have been busting a gut since start of year)

andy&kez I also had a beetle, it was the noisiest most uncomfortable and dangerous car I ever had.


On motorways with the slightest crosswind it would jump into the next lane, and if you ever braked hard going down a


steepish hill you would spin 180 degrees. It did have good traction in snowy winters, but the rest of it you could keep.


I preferred the British beetle the Morris Minor, which was my first car and the only car I had with a split windscreen.

Love the old Beetle. My Uncle does them up for a living and I remember that every time we went to visit him, there'd be a different colour beetle on the drive way. Loved going down to the garage to see what he was working on. Everything came in as a wreck and went out looking pristine.

I'll continue the conversation on my own then...


CC:"Stylish and Classy, you say?"


Me: "Absolutely!"


CC: "Why Thank You, Young Man!"


Me: "Don't mention it"


CC: "In that case, I won't(!)"...


At this point TLS slinks away, head bowed, having tried(and clearly failed miserably) to offer a Young Lady a compliment.:(

ops, sorry TLS, had to pop out and live life for a bit!!! slum dog millionaire (well worth seeing if you have not already)


thanks you for your fine compliments,

stylish and classy, you know how people say they are like their dogs... then maybe, just maybe, the same applies to people and their cars... hhmmmmm, stylish and classy... I like it (enough appreciation yet? let me know if you need more!) sweet dream CC

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
    • I'm glad all this talk of cheese has enticed David Peckham back to the forum.
