Toyoto Corolla
I maybe a cynical old sod, but does it not seem hypocrisy when the new Govt has not yet announced that it is scrapping its contract for Luxury BMY 7 series (I think)vehicles, when by their own admission a fleet of clapped out old corolla's could probably do the job?
Woops, it also includes three new Audi e-tron, three new BMW X5 plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) SUVs, While the BMW 7-series currently make up the bulk of the chauffeur-driven Crown fleet, the Government has been diversifying its fleet over the past couple of years.
I do know that Labour entered into the contract.
JMTCW. Merry Christmas

Time for a clear-out?
Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale
On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.
Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.
