they took the plastic off my carseats...apparently it's only left on for locals...

Madam Medusa

i can give you a roll of clingfilm if that would help...

MM, xx

Eva

That'll explain the number of slippery arses among them then......

MataHari

ohhhhhh...did you do research on this subject...

MataHari

I wanted the original plastic...

Eva

Plastic or locals' asses?

MataHari

lets do the asses first...

Eva

Well not many have asses they prefer camels.I had occasion recently to kick one local arse as hard and as far as I could.Plastic? I'm still doing that Amex thing.....

Fran Fine's mother (Sylvia) in The Nanny kept the plastic on her settee. Not sure if the aim was to keep it clean or for eventual resale value!

Same with my mum - she used to keep the plastic film on lampshades just to keep the dust off!

Seems to be a female idiosyncrasy - I don't know any males with this tendency. I suppose it is to keep something as new for as long as possible?

MataHari

to keep the dust off...but surely the dust would still settle on the plastic...

oh, here it's a male thing....my sons were gutted that they had taken the plastic off, and the local guys here seem to love their plastic seats as well...

MacScot

Mum always said it was easier to clean dust off the plastic than the lampshade cloth material (needed vacuuming).

In retrospect, I suppose it does make sense in Dubai to keep the plastic on car seats, since I have leather car seats that are so easy to slip in and out off. Cloth seats must therefore be a pain. Point taken.

MataHari

it's nice to see you remember what your mum has told you...

Inselaffen

is this just your way of telling us you got your boy racer car?

MataHari

oh...there is that of course...

Inselaffen

you should drive MM to the Racing in it next week
