Mrs S has got a VW Polo. Can't wait for the compo to come rolling in - I'm already looking on Ribble for my next N+1 :hyper:

Get this.

A week or so, before I headed out on a walk I set the breadmaker running. The chosen route passed and entered a charity shop spotting an old, near unused breadmaker. With the internal pan being a more convenient size I purchased the said machine to collect at a more convenient time.

Anyway I arrived home to fresh bread, the paddle mechanism then physically breaks off as I take out the bread.
Maybe I insulted it.
Your on the wrong thread!!

All of them. I don't think for a minute that the other manufacturers haven't been doing the same thing and now they are all cr**ping themselves. If VW are alone, they should have an almost untouchable advantage over everyone else.


They've been fiddling the fuel consumption tests for years so I suppose we shouldn't be surprised to find they are fiddling the emissions test as well.

how many times have you heard, or even joked yourself,,that your washing machine/home PC// TV / home appliance has been programmed to fail just as the warranty runs out.

Or, equally how anti viral software firms most probably write the viruses to keep the paranoia flowing.

And then, how many times do you just tut and scoff at the daftness of your own conspiracy theory, safe in the knowledge that stuff like that could never happen....in the real world.

Then you find that one of the largest and most respected motor manufacturers, in the world, has been shown to have built in a device that can detect when it' s engines are being tested for emissions, and switch itself to a clean running mode, reducing its emissions by a factor of 10, to pass an otherwise unobtainable goal...before heading out of the test centre to pollute the environment even more than it did before emissions testing was even though of

If it's possible for an organisation of this size and stature to operate in such a dishonest, deliberately deceptive and environmentally reckless way then perhaps it's time to think twice before we disregard all those niggling concerns.

Because if one conspiracy exists, all conceivable conspiracies exist.
