Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Every Mercedes-Benz car sold in Britain in the past six years is to be recalled by the German vehicle giant Daimler amid a scandal over ‘faked’ emission results.
Owners of nearly every model made by the firm will be asked to return their cars so the engines can be adjusted to reduce the amount of pollutants they emit.
It follows the launch of an investigation by the German authorities in May into allegations of fraud and criminal advertising by employees of the firm relating to the possible manipulation of exhaust controls in cars with diesel engines.
As part of the investigation hundreds of police officers and prosecutors searched Daimler sites across Germany. The company has said it is cooperating with the investigation.
The decision to cut emissions from around three million existing vehicles across Europe will cost the company about £195 million (220 million euros).
It comes amid continued scrutiny of the company’s emissions systems by the German government and calls for bans on diesel engines in the country’s cities.

Clearly the software changes are going to adversely affect performance. If it were me, I would demand my money back. In the US, these companies are fined and the buyers compensated. Where is the EU, and more pertinently, the UK government, on this issue?

Well, I did ask my local dealership about this stuff.

Namely, I asked if my written and advisory emissions could be considered to be accurate and correct.

"Of course! We wouldn't and couldn't be seen to be doing anything like that! They don't call us 'Volkswagen'", was the reply.

Obviously, just utter bullshite!

They are ALL just lying scumbag car dealers, IMHO. Aren't they?

Rich man poor man.. middle man thief.

JB WRONG HE SHOULD ALSO BE ON IS KNEES

Is that a tory or a Brexiter fleeing from the scene of crimes with his arms in the air?

Where is the recent hero Fauxpage fleeing to?

With a pea shooter to defend himself.

Since you ask here is the legend that is Nigel.

To all Remoaners, hot off the press from Brussels------Britain cannot now change it's mind.
The EU said of the Article 50 split legislation, ''Once triggered, it cannot be unilaterally reversed''

the uk does not need the eu we should now walk away . we do not need a trade agreement with them ,
merkel and tusk tell trump we do not want trade embargoes we want to trade free with
the world , then say the uk must when they leave the eu pay tariffs

you could not make it up

Donald told merkel why do you talk so stupid about free trade then want to charge the uk to pay fees ,
he then looked at her for the answer she looked down to her feet

According to Hans-Olaf Henkel the EU's 2 top Brexit chiefs Barnier and Verhofstadt want to punish Britain to stop other countries leaving.

Why on earth would they want to leave Utopia?

George great post ,

The lefties must be terrified..



Why Jacob Rees-Mogg for Tory leader is no laughing matter

Michael Segalov

From being on Ali G to naming his kid Sixtus, the MP is seen to have a winning way. But Mogg-mentum must be stopped before it becomes a disastrous reality







It’s not entirely clear who is more surprised that Jacob Rees-Mogg is being touted as the next Tory leader – the British public, or the MP for North East Somerset himself. Rees-Mogg has made a name for himself by appearing on the Ali G Show, naming his children Sixtus Dominic Boniface and Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam, and using obscure words like floccinaucinihilipilification in the chamber – but talk of a leadership bid is anything but a joke.

That's great news !!!!

Max Rees Mogg for PM would be great an intelligent man who also says it as it is .

jb----maybe not for everyone on here but certainly the majority of the UK.

As for JRM an excellent choice, as I posted just after the election result, however I still think TM should be permitted to continue, at least through the (now) irreversible Brexit process

Yeehaaa
