Not that I particularly wish Toyota ill, but it is pretty amusing in a way. First of all the science on which the whole global warming edifice is built (and the Al Gore gravy train) starts to crack and melt, due to a combination of bad science, poor research and deliberate manipulation of the facts. Then it seems the Prius - the car that symbolised street action against man-made global warming - doesn’t know whether it is coming or going. Either the accelerator races or the brakes don’t work - or horror, both at the same time.
So the fashion accessory of Hollywood takes a tumble. All those self righteous film stars and assorted media people who simply had to have one to prove their eco credentials now have a liability on their hands. Still it shows it was just as well they simply parked it in their garage and used the trusty old Hummer instead - at least the brakes work on that and anyway if you could not stop you would probably come off better than the other guy.
Looks like Toyota might be having its Perrier moment (if you can remember how that company lost its dominance of the mineral water market through a quality/PR disaster). Certainly they do not seem to be handling it at all well and are consistently a step behind where they need to be.
Darling,
I must take issue over your latest blog re the Toy ota thing. You see,when I moved to the country I purchased a new Toyota Penis which has given me hours of reliable pleasure and satisfaction with never a hint of a problem over starting or stopping and is completely eco friendly. When I was the star of To the Manor I owned a old hummer but had to stop using it because the neighbours complained about the noise and polution. If I remember correctly the W.I. endorsed the Penis not as fashion accessory but as a ‘must have’ for the modern woman.
However since you moved into the big house I seem to use my Toyota less and less relying more on your big Jag.
Love
Pen X
Get a Prius…..the car for the pious. Be like Al Gore…..take these mugs for even more!

‘Ere blogin mates I’ve just worked out the answer to the big question!!!!!…Who is Oldfart in real life? Me n Mick was avin a few special ciggies when it came to me. Hes said to be an old codger who weaves about wafting booze from his 1970’s Man at C&A jacket and to be a computer repair man. He wasnt doin much bloggin until the last week . Now he’s bangin them in like a man fillin time cos hes lost his job. But how could an old computer repair codger pull all them starlets, have his own porn studio and run a gaff with 286 rooms covering most of Slagheap Valley? Mick said ” has to cost £170,000 pounds a week” ‘n it all fell into place . Who likes a lot on the side? Who’s lost a job recently? Who gets £170K per week. John Terry that’s who!!!! Trust ol Keef to work it out.
