"B****y hell", says Mondeo man, "You're brave, running Rovers".

"Why?" say we in unison.

"Well, they're so unreliable"

"Oh yeah, which Rovers have you had, then?", again in unison.

"Oh none, I'm a Ford man" He says.

"FFS, you're the guy with the year old knackered car."

I still cannot believe the great British public.

Is that an actual proverb?

I mean... how foolish does a sheep have to be before it accidently buys the wrong car.
