So much for freedom … :mrgreen:

22

You’re welcome to it - if the car fits, then wear it … :lol:

23

So with all those ‘Obese’ people Omah, we are going to need bigger vehicles…

24

That’s just brilliant Vlad…:044:…I want one!

25

Much of the UK is heading that way:

Data from the Health Survey for England (HSE) conducted in 2018 indicated that 31% of adults in the United Kingdom were recognised as clinically obese with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30. 63% of adults were classified as overweight or obese (a body mass index of 25 or above), compared to 53% in 1993. More than two-thirds of men and 6 in 10 women were overweight or obese. 15% of children aged between 2 and 15 years (inclusive) were obese and an additional 13% of children were overweight.

The most overweight region is the North East, where 68% of people are overweight, followed by the West Midlands at 65.7%

Fat cars for fat people, then …:026:

26

Doncaster is pretty high on the list Omah…:frowning:
I can remember when to see a fat person was quite rare, we only ever had one in most of my classes as I went through school.

Food never seemed to be as addictive or plentiful back in the day, and food was probably the biggest outlay to the housekeeping bill. Now it’s probably the smallest behind mobile phones, Internet and pay to view TV.

27

Thanks for the approval there, :lol: it won’t be out of the factory till December so I am soldiering on with my MOKKA X SUV, not as big as the SEAT but it does a fair job of annoying the anti everything mob. :!:

28

It’s a nice motor, highly recommended by the car reviewers, and hated by those who can’t afford a real car :lol: and of course the Wokes :lol:

29

I’m not annoyed - I jusf feel sorry for MUGs who buy SUVs … :089:

30

Ahhhh a woke.

31

Talking of cars the way you do, I was driving along the A34 earlier this morning and overtook an HGV, has I got past him he flashed me :shock:
Bloody pervert ! :lol:

32

Sadly, you’re not making sense … :009:

33

Sorry mate, I don’t have my crayons available in order to make it clearer for you.:lol::lol:

34

:043:

35

Ah, bless … you’re still playing with crayons … :lol:

36

:lol: Maybe you could Explain it to Omah :lol:

37

Why is there an upper-case ‘E’ in “Explain” - is it significant … :017:

38

No, it was a spare one I had hanging around, you can have it if it excites you, as it obviously has.:lol:

39

Sadly, it hasn’t excited me at all but you seem strangely aroused by the thought of a “pale skinned plump and sweaty person of female persuasion” … :mrgreen:

Are you available then, I am free on Wednesday?
But I honestly thought you were a bloke.
