OK... All I am going to say is that my actual chronological, apparent and mental ages are all wildly different... The lowest being the last by a huge margin :)

Me too!

A "fast metabolism" I think, which roughly translates as "terrible efficiency" (i.e. it's takes a lots of energy just sitting here "idling" ) :-D

I'm small, compact and have good fuel economy ;) Like a little diesel engined car...

That pizza was gorgeous :-D The waitress asked if I liked chillies... Those little green ones were just the job on a chilly day!

I enjoyed seeing that again Gibbo, thanks. I am a fan of Clarkson's work in general and know he has produced a fair number of watchable documentarys alongside the Top Gear stuff. Even the more recent Clarkson's Farm has brought a few grins to my face so while I'd never endorse his actions which resulted in parting from the BBC, I do feel he is probably a Marmite character and I'm on the love it side!! :-D

What a great episode, it intrigued me but now it shows why I love my Citroen C8 so much rather than a British built car! Which is a shame

You did well to dig that out. I read (skim) the NE daily but would never have unearthed that.
I used to see a Bijou in a car park near work but not for years now.
