Shiny

We appear to have a new car - it's big (Gordon likes big cars), high up (great for those of us with not-so-good knees), it's very shiny (that won't last long on our roads) and has lots of hi-tech stuff (so Gordon has plenty to play with when he needs diverting from marking exam papers).

And, as a little gesture of protest, we insisted on having an EU number plate.
