We might end up with a lot more yuppies driving around in 4 by 4s and
SUVs (these passenger pickup trucks are even appearing here now!)
burning more fuel and asking for more of Britain to become tarmac.

Cheers, Alastair.


I must confess I was thinking of spending more in the third world.
Educating
our own population is now apparently beyond us :-(

I missed your point there, I seem to be stuck on this idea of tarmac.

But if educating our own population is beyond us, do you really think
Africans and Indians will not want 4 by 4s too?


there you are just talking fashion. What might be an interesting idea is to
work on fashion so that, for example, motorbikes became all the rage, or
perhaps dog carts
