From Sky News....
"Umm Qasr is a city similar to Southampton," UK defence minister Geoff Hoon said in the Commons yesterday.
"He's either never been to Southampton, or he's never been to Umm Qasr" says a British squaddie patrolling Umm Qasr. Another soldier added: "There's no beer, no prostitutes and people are shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth".

"he deserves his name in the paper that soldier.good line."
A bit TOO good, methinks. Still, made me laugh...

Sounds like Southend to me, 'cept the locals in Umm Qasr are probably more friendly and don't spend their lives doing doughnuts in supermarket car-parks with their Vauxhall Astras...
Swine. My home town is a lovely place.
Well apart from Paulsgrove.....

'Personalised high-performance vehicles', I think you'll find is the correct term. And, of course, they don't have the world's longest pier. Bet that keeps them awake at night.

Bou:
I've forgotten how to do the 'ladd/ette' thing a long time ago,
the car thing leaves me cold except the odd euro car fi the sixties(or the black ones the Gestapo had)
and its been a long time since top gear got up my nose!
Doing doughnuts? what like Homer?
Proudy
Does it mean driving round and round in circles, on full-lock?
