Since when do parties bother implementing manifestos? They're just shiny things they wave under people's noses to win votes.
Parties pledge things all the bloody time and then change their mind two months later when an idea doesn't look good in the polls.
I'm really not interested, I'll more than likely not vote next time and haven't always voted in the past.
Can I just say that if Avole has left, I think that’s a shame. We need a little grit in the oyster and I felt him to be largely sincere in his views, not a troll. Sometimes not too well expressed, perhaps, but not malign. I hope he returns, without the dissenters, this place would be an echo chamber and much the worse for it.So farewell then Avole, or is it a Vole?
a relative of mice
with a stouter body and a slightly rounder head
He never made me laugh but to some
he is known as a meadow mouse.

You are both wrong. The Metro was a big Mini. Same idea. Small car big on space. The Princess had suspension a Rolls would die for. I like a wedge too. Rover tech ended up in BMWs. We could have built the new Mini and 1series. But as I said, bad management.

I unfortunately experienced the Princess personally and I refer you to my previous post as to it's virtues...
The ‘Oh No’ series engine?I had a Wolseley 18/85 (landcrab in Party frock) G reg(the first time round!). The Princess/Ambassador were really just a re-body of that, with the O series engine.
BL produced some great cars. Sadly they couldn’t produce consistently good cars. The tooling for the A series engines was ancient, far too many had porous heads/blocks, the O series was a sohc B series so the same probably applies.
Criminal under investment and useless management.
I read that three times as ‘moisturised’.The Austin Princess was as close to a motorised turd as has ever been conceived.
Now you may be utterly sold on
Your Peugeot, your Proton
Your Mitsubishi Shogun
But I’ll always dote on
My Austin Ambassador Y reg.
What where they on making this...it could be a spoof, but it's real...if you listen carefully you can hear it rusting as they're driving it across the beach..."Have you the time? Yes..."
