And several people here in the village.  I didn't realise, when I made
my classic comment in our local pub about increasing SUV usage improving
the standard of ovloV driving ("the real dickheads have abandoned ovloVs
for SUVs") that at least two of the audience had such vehicles on

They've now been delivered, and silence reigns on the topic.  Both, IMO,
fall precisely into the "I'm OK in this, stuff you" group.
