So, as they say - there is always a branch near you.
A man walks into a high class restaurant and says to the waiter - "do you serve children?". The waiter thinks for a moment and then replies - "well - we do - but most people couldn`t eat a whole one".
Is the 2CV its own anti-theft device? In the early 90s, a national newspaper left an old, but roadworthy 2CV unlocked, in an area of Manchester noted for very high rates of car theft. The car was rigged to run only a few hundred yards if stolen. Most of the cars stolen were taken over the weekend, so it was left there on Friday night. On Monday morning it was still there, untouched.
Our thanks must of course go to:
Citroen UK - for getting Claudia Schiffer to take off all her clothes
Bill Gates - for making the whole thing possible
And finally.... In the UK, 82% of the price of a gallon of petrol is tax. 18% is the actual cost of the petrol. This makes, for instance petrol about two to two and a half times as expensive as petrol (or gasoline) in the USA. But no-one raises the slightest complaint. This is because, being British, and in the leading nations as regards oil production, we never complain.
