Last week, a near-diplomatic incident occurred with the Czech republic.
It started when the Norfolk Blogger praised his new car. Uber-Blogger Iain Dale immediately retaliated by accusing him of being middle aged. It was then pointed out that he was rather out of touch, Kids of today thought they were cool and his expensive new Audi was from the same Company!
Anyway, let me set the record straight- I'm on my fourth Skoda and Karen on her First.
We have had two Felicias, two Octavias and a Fabia. I've been happy with all of them and don't regret the choice.
Having said that, they let me have a Favorit as a loan car once and it was Cak.
They were all called Betsy, as indeed have been all of my cars since 1980, apart from a Renault 5 that was renamed "Twat", inspired by the "what's yours called?" slogan and a particularly big bill for a steering rack that would have been 20% of the price if I'd bought something from the Dagenham Dustbin instead).

I'm sorry about the problem you have with commenting on my blog, Ian. Do you get an ActiveX question box when you visit my blog? I seem to be of the only two people who do and it is driving me crazy. Husband did an update last sunday; is your problem since then?
I'm pleased I am not alone in liking my Skoda.
It helps that it has a heated rear windscreen, keeps your hands warm when you need to push it.

Oh, I like people who name their cars! I name my fridges, myself.
What would call a Fridge? David says he would call if Fred the Fridge.
I'd probably call it Chilly Willie.
...We have had two Felicias, two Octavias and a Fabia. I've been happy with all of them and don't regret the choice...
What? All at the same time?
James, you know what I was saying. This is over the last twelve years or so. (I did high mileage on the first three as I was self-employed at the time).
We have two at the moment, Betsy 1 and Betsy 2.
