    Just spent almost 1 month in UK and never saw any sun at all . To cap it all I have just found a great big gouge and dent in my nearside front wing which can only have happened at one of the various supermarket or shopping mall car parks we visited whilst over there. Cant think of anywhere it could have happened in France, Switzerland on the journey home or since we got back. On top of that, we lost to Wolves when I attended my 'annual' game at Oakwell. :mad:

    Ah well, at least I now have the obligatory Italian dent in my car to go with the Italian plates I had to have fitted and we missed all the snow (and two small 'quakes) over here.

    You're complaining about not seeing the Sun in the UK in winter. It's seldom seen in the summer.

    I was with you until you said that you have only found the scratch when you are back in Italy but for some reason have assumed it can't possibly have happened there or France or Switzerland but Must have been a supermarket in England. How do you know it wasn't done outside your house? Or while you was parked on a ferry/tunnel? Or while you were having a piss whilst crossing France?

    ST, you're talking to a guy who's just moaned that he didn't see any sun in January in UK, what do you expect?

    (I'm guessing/hoping that his whole post was tongue in cheek, it must have been... right?)

    It was the Remain campaign.

    You should write a letter (e-mail is a bit modern for the lovers of empire) to Nigel Farage using Brexitty, polemicist language. He'll pay for the damage from the £350million-a-week NHS surplus he promised there would be.

    Must have been a bloody big trolley full of housebricks looking at the size of the gauge and dent.

    More than a "scratch" It is a bloody great gouge and a deformed panel . We live in a farmhouse and park off road, The Rotterdam Hull Ferry has supervised loading and the car was parked in such a way as the side of the car could not have been hit by another vehicle. We drove direct from Rotterdam to Colmar in Alsace and parked in the hotel car park again in such a way that the damage could nt have happened there and then continued non-stop (except for fuelling) to Central Italy(home) and the car was never left unsupervised as we had a full load of stuff in the car.
    So not an assumption at all but a fact. It happened in the UK. Amazed I didnt spot it though or more likely the missus didnt as it is a UK RHD and is on the Nearside and I do all the driving

    Only you with your obsession could turn a comment about vandalism or hit and run into a comment about racism. Funny how the vociferous minority(you included) on here seem at odds with the overwhelming leave vote that came from Barnsley

    Yes of course but the obesesive types like Marc and DusThanolll have managed to squeeze immigration and personal jibes into it. Supertyke even managed to accuse me of blaming someone in the UK as a matter of guesswork..

    In fact we have been back in sunny Italy for 1 days and yet to see a glimmer of sun, instead seeing only fog and low cloud. Oh the irony!

    Actually I really enjoyed the visit as I got to see our new grandaughter in Barnsley and I managed a trip to see the Super Reds at Oakwell for the Wolves game. I even enjoyed that in spite of the scoreline.
