Well you live & learn. My missus is always asking me why there's a Royal Mail van parked outside her work place at late o'clock. I know it's non of the local lads but was wondering what they were up to. :hmmmm

I used a VW Caddy when we had one on hire and thought it was excellent. I use a Combi on a rural and although it does sit quite low i still prefer it to Fiats and Peugeots.
