But after the same amount of mileage? Morgans live in dry garages, not on the roads like most cars. They only go out in the dry, not all year in all conditions.
Chalk and cheese comparison.

Smiles per mile are more important than miles per smile. 😉

It's one of the things I just can't wrap my head around - just why (for instance) would Andrew Wakefield go the the US to target certain ethnic groups for his lies, knowing they'll catch measles as a result?

It would appear it is not only a problem in the US https://www.england.nhs.uk/south-ea...ccination-and-race-religion-and-belief-A4.pdf

Indeed. Wakefield is just one particularly infamous example. RFK Jnr is, in time, going to be even more infamous, as his position and stance mean he could kill millions over time.

Reminds me of a fellow who had the factory next to ours. He built his business until finally he could afford a Porsche. A month later he was suffering severe buyer's remorse - the car was noisy, cramped, uncomfortable, and the instant, huge depreciation once he'd driven it off the forecourt meant he couldn't afford to trade it in.

My pal went through life driving "exciting" but expensive to own/run cars. After his Morgan, which he got rid of when children arrived on the scene, he drove a succession of "exciting" cars, but, fortunately, for his bank balance, funded by his employer.

Sadly, he was forced to leave work due to ill health, and, died before reaching 65. His last exciting but unreliable purchase was an Alpha (can't recall the model).

I must admit I have trouble in understanding a manager in the NHS saying, in effect, that they'd give Reform a chance, despite finding them "frightening". There are too many appropriate clichés to accompany my "WTF?" It would be a bit like saying that you'd (maybe reluctantly) ask Count Dracula to pop by as you just can't get rid of that annoying sore throat.

Surprisingly Kylie does appear to be a real person (always handy when people have unusual names). However, I'm not sure her knowledge of the NHS is that deep. She spent 8 years enforcing ASBOs and doing community safety before moving into commissioning. She spent 19 years working for Rochdale Borough Council before moving to the Rochdale CCG to do commissioning for planned care / cancer and from there moved to the NHS as Transformation Lead for planned care / cancer / EOL.

She's basically a project manager and has no actual medical knowledge at all.

Or knowledge about Farage, it seems.
