Van hire is cheap and great fun.

Van Hire Fun

Who would have thought that van hire could be great fun?

But think on a moment - consider the power these vehicles have - engine capacity and gearing designed to shift heavy loads, superb elevated sitting positions and a horn to die for. White van man - king of the road

Van Hire

Sometimes we hear about the white van syndrome - that is when once you have heard that there are many many white vans on the road you se more and more. Of course white is the colour of almost all van hire company vehicles.

What Else can you do with a hire van?

Well most people take the opportunity to pull incredible wheel spins - top tip empty the van and over inflate the tyres - squeel - OH CAN YOU SMELL THAT?

Smell it? I'm sitting in it.

Most people though hire a van when they are moving furniture - heavy sofas and beds. In fact some people now consider hiring a van to collect their purchases to save on crazy delivery charges. Some smart comapnies are already waiving the delivery charge on new beds as they realise that the charges are unfair and a delivery van with their name on is good advertising when the neighbours see a new bed being delivered from their shop..

Perfuem and skin care products are fast becoming known as a popular insect repellents by ladies who drive 4 X4's

The truth about land rover drivers is that they are generally well to do ladies and gentlemen who enjoy flaunting their fashion and stlye.

Now summer is here the inevitable plague of insects buzz around distracting drivers who fail to close all windows leading to accidents and irritation.

Land Rover Drivers

Following reports that the army (hard) are using Avon moisturiser for insect protection in the Jungle central London shoppers at 'Arrolds are looking for cheap beauty products that will act as effective insect repellents. Creme de la mer may not be the cheapest of cosmetic ranges but fancy ladies are lured in by the promise of a radiant facial and a spot of sp F BUFF.

Cheap perfume - better than BuzzOff

Unexpectedly, Toots own brand insect gel Buzzer Off contains less active ingredients that are repellant to insects than some of the most exclusive cosmetics and fragrances on sale.

Why spend a little on something that doesn't work when you can spen a lot on feeling great?

Any job for the unemployed?

Recession proof jobs

It was with mild interest I came upon this list of top jobs in a recession

It would appear that the more desperate people become the better off some professions become. Thats injustice however it was pleasing to see some "new" jobs appear in the list.

Those working towards helping people around the world who are affected by drought and flood caused by climate change can at least feel worthwhile.

Anything’s possible if we put our heads together and keep the ideas flowing. In Bangladesh, where flooding

can undo months of back-breaking work, farmers are reaping the rewards from floating vegetable gardens.

Can the men with money keep Land Rover afloat?

My enjoyment of putting a variety of new vehicles throught their paces at the Land Rover Experience Centre's leading off road track at Eastnor Castle was somewhat marred byt the presence of a group of city types out on a corporate bonding day.

It became clear that these gents were seriously considering buying new vehicles for their corporate fleet. Who, I wondered in these times of economic uncertainty were in a position to be out spending on top of the range 4X4's?

Bank and Corporate Treasury Workers

It is difficult not to see the irony that amidst the turmoil major investment houses and money men continue to make killing playimng global monopoly. Some reports that rapid improvements to international FX trading solutions have been made to accomodate the massive increase in trade volumes.

These chaps certainly held an air of confidence - indeed arrogance as they joked about the common Defender and its slow farmers pace.

The realisation that their decision to purchase new vehicles might help the security of some careers and jobs for Land Rover encouraged me to chat to them about my experience of the models on offer.

The choice they had to make was ultimately between the Freelander or Discovery - the Range Rover being dismissed as being a far too okay yah yuppie vehicle.

Land Rover Discovery

After reading various reports about the shortcomings of the Disco attention turned to the recent reviews of the Freelander.

New Land Rover Freelander - 40 miles per Gallon?

It was with releif that the bankers took notice of the greatly improved fuel economy technology. Tremendous news for drivers wlooking for all the history and status Land Rover is famed for and now prettily packages and wrapped up in a greener parcel that will genuinely improve day-to-day economy.

The new Freelanders are on sale from April 2009 and have a modest £32k price tag.

Lets hope the city boys can hold their jobs and wait for the release of the new land Rover "Green" Freelander
