I used to have a Ford Sierra, and the because of the shape and being brown, it was known as The Turd :D. Ideal for running on poo!

My friend Fiona was kidnapped in one of those cars. We kicked up a stink to get her back.

It was known as the 'Fee Seize'.

Just thinking...if it takes the crap from 70 families to generate enough fuel for 10,000 miles erm...

10,000 / 70 = 143ish - - average 3.5 people in family(?) = 41 miles per person per annum.

See where I'm going with this? :roll: :lol:

Maudibe, you're flush with ideas.........

So..... mpg to be replaced by mpa ?

Households with diets based on curry/beanz/cabbage etc. would become more valuable due to their higher calorific value.
