Pic of the day

There are definitely some that exist around Rome but they’ve been maintained. The Romans maintained their roads and had engineers.

What it should read is “then accountants arrived”

What would the daily mail say if we paid for road maintenance instead of giving nurses a pay rise? Most A and B roads were laid in the post war years and have not been done since, they’re 70 years old.

...but surely there's money for everything! The government should pay!

Ah, yes, the good old days, when things were done properly. Slaves building the roads (although the two on the right seem to be slacking - nothing that a little exemplary crucifixion won't fix). Roads lasted for eternity (honest) even with bullock carts weighing as much as 1/2 a ton, doing like SIX mph, were on them almost every day.

I suppose the Daily Mail would say this:

Wouldn't want to take a GS down there. Looks quite hard walking, in fact

To be fair, some of the roads on the Tuscan Tea Party were not much better than this!

Nothing personal but that looks awful. And what's all the horrible marks on the seats? Surely this is a windup?

Yes it's a windup, it's not my car...!

No one will own up after Benny's attack it's a bit like being back at school in the 70's
Just need to have a look at Mary Millington in a copy of Whitehouse or Lovebirds now.

It’s like a flat version of Belgian pavé. Ask Frankywankhand what that does to Ferrari ball joints.

Do you mind....I had a brown Cortina 1.6GL. Bought it off my Dad in 1981..cracking car but a bit grim on the style front mind you. Had lovely dark brown velour seats and headrests cos it was a GL! Used to drive around in winter with two concrete blocks in the boot so I could get a grip in the ice and snow.

Come to think about it, my Dad seemed to like Brown cars; had a Roman Bronze coloured Capri 1.6GL with beige seats ( but no headrests..). Happy days camping in the Blackforrest with this car.
