Old Audi`s and Beemers are great cars, just depends whose hands there in.
It`s the same with all cars tbh.
( although there is a special place in Hell reserved for the drivers of Nissan Micras )

I'm sure they perform well and are well built. It's just that any car lacking chrome bumpers leaves me stone cold. They're just plastic objects to me.
I had to try very hard to look impressed at a friend's £150k porche recently, and said the right things just like a sociopath would rehearse, but really it looked like a million other cars on the road to me.

Etiquette and manners are a thing of the past, sadly.
I had a teacher as a lodger, he was in his late 20s and had no clue how to use a knife and fork ffs. We're talking about a generation who eat with their hands and drink colured sweet drinks through straws like big children.
@Bungle please note you've been seen pimping again.

That’s the worst bit about it. You have to put it straight in the microwave.
I went to see the Terracotta Warriors at the World Museum over the weekend and to be fair it was a great exhibition and well worth visiting.
Unfortunately however, it was swarming with large swathes of the great unwashed of society with their usual disdainful and ignorant and ways.
One such example (a middle aged woman with her hoards of Clampetts close by) continued to show very little museum or general etiquette.
There I was, stood approximately two to three metres from an exhibition clearly reading the information and engrossed in the fantastic detail.
When, rudely, she decides to stand directly in front of the exhibit (say 5cm away), furiously waving her hands to her fellow kind and proclaiming...
... "Look at thiiiiiiis big pot Sheila", before her clan marched over and plunged their faces into the glass with amazement and other shrieks.
I had to restrain myself from putting my fist right through the back of her head, yet this continued right throughout the exhibit from start to finish.

Nah... It was the end of the 70s and into the horrendous styling and cheapskating profiteering 80s they disappeared

That kind of thing happens to me all over. You find yourself trying to judge their rate of progress so you could either outrun them or hang back and let them get ahead (putting their fingerprints on all the display cases
Which reminds me of something that annoys the hell out of me; when people can't read a noticeboard without touching it with their fingers, getting in the way if what you're trying to read.
Exactly my point. I even threw in the occasional huff, sigh and vocal comment at my displeasure at their actions but it went over their heads.

That could be me talking .
But it happens even in the higher echelons too. Picture yours truly in the Picasso museum in Malaga - his birthplace.
I'm contemplating one of the later works - not my favourites frankly - when a large lady of indeterminate age leads a party of bored Italian teenagers right in front of me and starts talking nonsense to them from a clipboard.
There was almost an international incident. It took several sherries in Malaga's roughest bodega to cool my beans, I can tell you.
Hated chrome bumpers myself, all that shining and polishing, but if that's your thing. . . .
School parties are the worst. To be fair, I don't blame the children as they really should be given the experience to see such wonders of the world.
Instead, it's the clueless adults with them who seem totally incompetent at fulfilling their duties of shepherding them around and instilling dignity.
It's their (the adults) failings that cause people to generally hold such groups of children usually in disdain - they make me fume greatly.
I remember years ago being in the Catalyst museum with my oldest during the day before she was in school, and we stood patiently for the lift.
On charged a hoard of pupils clearly fulling a reproduction of 'Our Day Out' with their teachers talking about Okay Magazine or something similar.
One of their teachers barged forward, pressed the button and proclaimed to me, "Could you not walk instead? We have lots of children here".
Let's simply say she didn't expect my calm, softly-spoken but blunt response supported with my hand gesture explaining where she'd go head first.

Terracotta Warriors, how much for the pair.
It’s 15 quid a ticket right, ‘Kin museum used to be free.
The rest of the museum is free but as it's a special exhibit you need tickets. To be fair though it's more than worth the money!
