Fake fur is a synthetic material made from hydrocarbons; the stuff that contributes to global warming.

Real fur comes from animals that used to fart. Methane. A greenhouse gas.

Thus, real fur coats benefit the environment twice over.

But animals dig up ground and poop to allow plant life to flourish. These in turn reduce greenhouse gases.

But, if we kill animals, to eat or to clothe, we then breed more to replace them thus increasing the overall number of animals and especially the volume of poop.

As for our 'geriatric' mode of transport, it is a one off 440 bhp, Supercharged IS 300 Lexus. If I really get the desire to drive a manual car, I just press a switch & let the fun begin.

If you were ever in Gloucesteshire, UK, my Hubby would be more than happy to take you for a drive 'his way', & it would soon become apparent to you that an Auto gear box is not 'geriatric' & is not a toy, but very much a REAL car.

As for sex & condoms, may I suggest that you maybe not doing it right

I would imagine that dbd is definitely doing it right (the number of ways he infers he does it and the amount times he suggests he does it he must be getting it right at least some of the time )

I don't mean to be harsh but, unless you buy a Cadillac, it's hard to get more fuddy duddy than a Lexus.

A Cadillac is not a car - it's a boat

Yes, it's more fuddy duddy than a Lexus. I suppose Oldsmobile and Buick are too but I can't think of any other cars more suggestive of a driver who's likely to be in carpet slippers and a hat. They're all very comfortable though, I'll give you that.

Please could you send us a link where you get your, carpet slippers & hats from & a nodding dog aswell would be brill. Hubby is especially keen to have a smoking jacket, so all information would be appreciated so we're ready to go boating

Ha! I only have the hat, a trilby. I bought that from the Oxfam shop in the Wembley High Road.

OXFAM you say, it becomes apparent that's why you've never driven a quality auto car - you cheap skate

Can't agree - I don't see anything "gorgeous" in a human wearing a fur coat. If she were that gorgeous she wouldn't need to dress up.
