The big four-wheel drives used to drop the children at school were known as Chelsea Tractors – I never imagined it was a compliment but it gave somebody an idea as there is a real Chelsea Truck Co.
That red monstrosity is yours for £70,000. Their other vehicles look like the sort of kit an Afghan warlord might buy for his personal bodyguard. I doubt they would look in place even on the most rugged grouse moor.
Have you thought of buying a velour tracksuit? No, neither have I but a ladies one in orange from SportsDirect has a good price point – £10 – and would make you high-vis when out jogging. Or you could save £645 and buy this one in Mayfair in a Sale.
Who on earth would pay £250 for a large brown velour tracksuit, let alone £895? Location is everything and the shop is opposite the Saudi ambassador’s residence. That answers my question.
Last week I walked along the Grand Union Canal and along the Thames to Richmond with a friend. I mentioned that there was usually something unusual to look at and, lo and behold, on a floating log were a turtle and two exotic looking birds that neither of us could identify.
That’s much more edifying than looking at tractors and tracksuits; it’s a wonderful land.
