They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

Yeah, but you Brits have got _weird_ concepts in
transportation.
The Morris Minor for instance never should have been licensed as
an automobile -- a four-wheeled powered bicycle on its best day.
Hey, this is getting personal :-) The world seems a different place behind
the wheel of my 1948 Minor Low Light. I'll admit it's not powerful, but
that's not the point!
To add a little (very small) bit of historical computing content, I always
try to think of the way the world was when "Bertie" (the car) was built.
It's hard to think of an effectively no-computer world. I often wonder what
I'd have done for a living if I'd been born 50 years earlier...
