Fairly sure it doesn't apply to king cabs. Something about load capacity brings it into commercial sector.. i can imagine these will see something of a re-emergence if that is the case. Always thought they made more sense anyway tbh!
Chatting about this with accountant last week. The small print says separately openable rear doors. So my Dmax utility will be fine. (King cab)
Always preferred king cab as somewhere dry for tools and coats and the off kid, but still a 6ft bed and you can load a dumpy or pallet far enough forward on the bed for it to handle ok.

Country is in a worse place for kids not getting these opportunities anymore.

They should have a requirement of attending at least 80% 100% of the time not pick and choose what they want to see. They might actually learn something then
everyone else is expected to attend their place of employment 100% of the time unless sick or on pre-booked holiday leave ... as they get X+++ weeks holiday every year, they should be there 100% of the time between their extended jollies 🤬

If I remember rightly, we were all completely fed up with the previous government. And they had fallen apart with the infighting, shame because that same infighting took down Boris, caused the Liz Truss debacle (another crying shame because the ethos behind her policies would have done some of us here a real favour) But down it all went, Sunak took over and kept very quiet for the majority of his time as PM, and things were starting to look up slowly.

The real reason I think for the massive labour win is actually the Reform party. Who took so many votes from the Conservatives but didn't get the representation with the seats. Did Labour a right favour.

Another 4 years chaps. Feels like a long time but it will come around soon enough. The key is getting everyone behind the same candidate this time. It should be enough time for the Conservatives to reboot, get rid of the dead wood and come back swinging very much like Tony Blair did back in 97.
Until then, keep our heads down I guess.

On the pickup topic - I agree with the notion that in 2029 they will be worth nothing. I plan to keep my current one going until then. It will be 11 years old - if it hasn't earned its way by then - it never will! Do we know if this rule applies to king cabs? Technically they have more than 3 seats....
Agree with a lot of your comments but I don’t see the conservatives coming back to power. Sunak was the last conservative PM for a very long time.
Reform will become the main right wing party and the center ground will collapse after 4 years of this current shower.

If he still has an interest in it then Farage will be our next pm I reckon.
I don't think so. We on here and within our own circles probably have a similar outlook. But for everyone of us there's another 10 who see the world through the likes of the Guardian and BBC . Whatever- each to their own but just don't think the numbers will be there to get behind the likes of Farage when it comes to it.

The key to a Farage victory is him building a credible party/ shadow cabinet which we can all have some faith in to get the job done. There's time but I was a bit disappointed when he took a back seat with the Brexit negotiations after the vote. Thought he could have played a bigger part there, I know he wasn't in the government but he literally disappeared for a good 18 months! Don't want to see him backing away from this opportunity at the next election

Farage is only in it for himself.

I want to see someone like him but with (don’t laugh) Corbyns motivation.

Say what you like about Corbyn but he was true to his beliefs.

TBF have said this a few times about Corbyn since the election as much as I detest him we knew which terrorists he supported whereas smarmer ...who knows ...🤬

when he just stepped back from it after all the stuff he kept on about that was him out of any interest from me. he was happy to be a mep and fill his boots, i am not really sure why he chucked it in either, i personally would not vote for him after all that. and dont want him to get the chance to do the same sort of thing again.

as above he wasnt in any form of power, he also stepped back for boris to get a 80 seat majority.i think he thought boris would get the job done ,but boris was a prick,its only recently has farage gained a seat .with more votes than the lib dems
