Ka

One of my pet hates at the moment is the disgustingly ugly Ford Ka, or as owners of said car like to call them, kay-hay. I don't want to upset any owners of these abominations but for heavens sake, what on earth possessed you when you bought one of these things. They look like a bald hedgehog on wheels. They must be underpowered, because I always seem to be stuck behind one doing 20 in a 40 zone. And it's not the same one because they all seem to be a different colour, and boy , theres some colours. Another one that comes a close second to the Ka is that Mercedes one that looks like the back end has been chopped off, all bonnet and no boot. Mind you they can shift and there's no problem getting into a tight space. No good for a weekly shop at Morrisons though.
Talking of supermarkets, how come when you swap queues at the usually busy checkouts for a shorter one, the person in front of you always has a credit card that doesn't work and they have to ring the bell to get a supervisor?
