Wow - thanks for all the responses. It feels like I had a party and got to meet all of you. What a diverse, funny, intelligent group. Anyway, thanks again.
"What's a Vauxhall Agila?" Little K asked. It's a fairly new model for vauxhall, really tiny and narrow - my daughter says it reminds her of one of those little cars in the circus that all the clowns pile out of. When I moved over here, they wouldn't give me credit because I had no credit history in this country so I had to pay cash for a car. This is what I could afford, and I thought I would hate it, but I love it. It handles great on these narrow, twisty English village roads and it makes me feel really virtuous in terms of miles to the gallon (liter).
