I have a neighbour with a very expensive 4x4. he justifies it saying it
is
environmentally friendly as it only does 2,000 miles a year. I told him
to
get a cardboard cut-out and put that next to his house.



Why does he need to justify it? If he can a) afford to run it, b) it
does the job he wants to do and c) he likes it, then that's it.

The rest is fluff.


Oh so none of this matters to you or the trendy town people with 4x4
vehicles.

I didn't say that.

The point is that no amount of media coverage and especially
neighbours telling people how to run their lives will make a
difference if they want to do something.

People should be honest. Drivel's neighbour has his 4x4 for the
reasons I listed above. The story that he fed Drivel was fluff of
the same type as Drivel suggesting a cardboard cut out.

It would be cheaper to have a cardboard cutout than an expensive lump of
metal on the drive.
