Whenever I go into the newsagents near work to buy the prog the chap there always calls out "MR 2000AD".

You don't get that kind of recognition via a sub!

I used to get something similar, 'ah Mr P, its here somewhere, Doris, Doris Find Mr P's comic' the were a loverly pair of old gents.

Mind you now i get to read the Prog in bed without leaving it (that's what well trained sprogs are for)

I was once driving my Lada through the countryside at night when one of the back wheels came off and rolled into a field of celery. A policeman appeared as I was retreiving my errant wheel because some local farmer had reported me for celery rustling.

Does anyone else have an amusing anecdote about their Lada?

I don't have much to add there, but I enjoyed the story.  :D

Yes I ... oh about a Lada?

Dammit, I thought you were asking for celery-rustling anecdotes. Ah well.

Shame too, it would've knocked your socks off.

I love Soviet engineering. I've never owned a lada, but I do know an interesting fact about Soviet engineering that relates to wheels. Apparently, the railway lines in Poland and Belarus have different gauges and spacings. When you're crossing the border by train, you don't just get on a different train, oh no, that's what a decadent capitalist swine would do. Instead the train goes into a darkened shed, with the passengers still on board, and they change the trucks and wheels. It's a hang over from the paranoid cold war era, a method of trapping would-be spies trying to cross the border by train, and discouraging their own citizens from travelling. It's still in operation, 24/7, to this day.
You may quote me on that.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned a few weeks back (on this thread) a conversation I had with someone that lasted (thanks to an untimely interruption) over a year. Well, I kid you not, I was being told, by one who would know, about the good qualities of the four-wheel-drive Lada...a thing I'd never heard of.
