Anyone driven a Peugeot 2008?

Mr R has booked one for our Christmas in Gran Canaria. I was just wondering what it is like room-wise inside.

If you are on twitter it is worth looking at Donald Trump's feed. You can see a man losing grip tweet by tweet., his latest is just surreal.

I've never driven one but by the looks of the various reviews there should be enough room for you, John and a few cases of gin.....but there's no where to put your glasses so you'll have to drink out of the bottle.....

'By making the 2008 taller and longer than the Peugeot 208 supermini, there’s now plenty of head and legroom for rear-seat passengers. Just beware the panoramic sunroof (standard on top-spec Allure Premium and GT Line models and an optional extra elsewhere in the range) if you’re tall, as it cuts down on headroom.

While interior space impresses, cabin storage is disappointing, because the glovebox is only half the size it first appears – this is due in part to the bulky fuse box. The front cup-holders are also a bit fiddly, as they’re in front of the gearlever and too small for larger coffee cups. Instead, you’ll need to rely on the door bins, which isn't ideal because there’s nothing there to hold your cup in place'.

Good grief, although every time I read a tweet from him it seems worse than the previous one. It’s like his superpower.

I don't like the Google Bot that always seems to be trolling this website. Can someone tell it to fark off or post something?

Funny you should mention that: I've just spent an hour working out how to keep it to the public parts of this forum. Done. Phew.

Netflix and other subscription/bought services are things that have never entered my life.

I may be tight.

It's considerably less than the licence fee, which I haven't paid (nor watched the BBC) in about 5 years. Since then I have been couchtuner-ing and torrenting and generally not paying my way. I've only very recently signed up for Netflix, and it's the first time I am voluntarily paying for TV.

Don't forget to introduce yourself. When Gravel was doing his first OSCE he forgot to introduce himself to the dummy arm he was putting a line up on.....he failed that station.

Go for it!! As a customer you might get a few more verses - perhaps the next one will be like this letter from Larkin to a woman friend:

“Morning, noon & bloody night,
Seven sodding days a week,
I slave at filthy WORK, that might
Be done by any book-drunk freak.
This goes on until I kick the bucket.
FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK IT”
