Being a millionaire is so last century, and a title that is afforded one in ten UK home owners. Billionaire is where it is at these days and for that you need Belgravia and Chelsea. Kensington Palace Gardens has one of the (if not the) highest concentration of Billionaires on the planet.

 

Orville, its % per head so, even the Fn corner shop keeper thinks he's something big around here, its not what you've got, it how Fn important you think you are that affects the way they act.

 

Management bull calls it "Expectations/Perception gap" thats the problem, I agree they ain't that special but, they expect to be treated as if they were Fn Billionaires

 

Sister in law lives in Surrey. Shamley Green, I have never seen anywhere like it.. absolutely rammed full of utter W****** of the very highest order. Miserable fake place. Hate it.

Half of them don't have a penny, are clearly up to their eyeballs in debt just to play the 'Surrey Game'. She has fallen into the same trap. I honestly don't know how they sleep at night.

 

It really is a different planet. So refreshing when we get back to home to Yorkshire after a visit.

 

27.7 mpg vRS tsi 1600 miles

 

 

So latest update.

 

Trip details, fill up in Winchester and travel to Shephards Bush, London for a meeting and then on to Manchester. Decided to stick to speed limits and have a little fun when roads allowed. Arrived in Manchester on a staggering 45.7mpg!!!!!! Lots of traffic and still got a great return.

 

So, expectation on return trip from Manchester next day, down to Bournemouth, especially it being a Friday was that I wouldn't achieve anywhere near decent figures. Total trip time on Friday afternoon was 6.5 hours as the traffic was a nightmare, lot of stop start so in the end decided to go cross country. Again, I stuck to the speed limits and had a few blasts of fun now and again.

 

The car returned a very respectable 44.6mpg so on the journey there and back beat an average of 45mpg, for a 2.0 turbo petrol that can comfortably sprint to 60 in 6 seconds, I'm well impressed.

So there is an upside to drving in traffic

 

Hmmm... I think I'll stick with my 5-5.30am blast to work, it may not help the fuelly numbers but, it puts a smile on your face all day.

"This high?"

 

 

No, mine saves the uniforms for bedtime.

 

So if anyone has lost a couple of pairs of handcuffs & a truncheon, we can send them in your direction?
