Change fast, before we all gag on the fabric of British life | Jeremy Clarkson - Times Online (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/jeremy_clarkson/article6255739.ece)
"It’s much the same story with the Land Rover. Designed just after the war, it is still being sold to farmers and the British Army, where it sits in the modern theatre like a medieval trebuchet. So why hasn’t it been replaced with something that has space for a driver’s shoulder? Oh, because that would be like tearing down Anne Hathaway’s cottage. It’s part of the fabric of British life."
All those hoping to get into a deefer in the coming years had better hope the "fabric" does not wear out....:wasntme:
cheers
Yorkie :D
