But that would a taxi driving Freemason golfist drive?


Kia are for neurotics, audi for arseholes, bmw for wannabe arseholes, Vauxhall’s for people who don’t want a car, Ford for people with no imagination, mini for people who think they are cool, VW for people who think they know it all, skoda for people who do know it all, Honda for those ready to die, landrover for those who want to be outdoorsie, and a van for those who actually do outdoorsie stuff……all French cars for idiots……...



Stereotypes don’t exist because they don’t happen right…….

Stereotypes don’t exist? Look up confirmation bias.

At risk of going off topic, conformation bias is when when one supports or opposes a particular issue and then only seeks or accepts information in support of that position.

It has little to do with stereotryping, which derives from other sources.

Confirmation bias reinforces stereotyping. The way you describe it suggests it’s a conscious choice in re how we process information.

Cheeky bastard...I'm only 30.

But I think they're completely the opposite these days and that feeling is still there for some.

What you think.?

I think your mate is jealous. 😁😂 I've seen this kind of comment before.

I'm 70 but not a grandad, If I were a grandad I wouldn't be able to afford a Volvo.

Please forgive me if this sounds daft, but I’ve wondered what is the meaning of the term “woke”.

Could someone explain. Thanks.

You could look it up in a dictionary, but that won't help!

Mercedes saloons are taxi drivers' cars.

BMWs are driven by ****s

I'm sure there are many more stereotypes.
