Managed to but a flight to Sardinia to see my friend a couple of years ago from Ryanair. It cost me £21 including tax, plus I stayed at her place for a week, cheapest holiday I ever had. ;D

Re: Best Bargain
 
I coughed up for both licences (twice maried).

Didn't realise that it was only a down payment though.

Re: Best Bargain
 
when do they run out  ???never had a reminder to renew it only for the tv ;D

Fangio 09-11-2003 11:10

Re: Best Bargain
 
Now THATS an idea!

Often thought that they should be like a car  tax disc, you get to renew it every couple of years or so, and perhaps if its getting a bit knackered - well you just don't renew it and go find another one.

What a great idea!

Mick i agree with you there.Wifes are like cars really.Nothing wrong in driving a good old reliable Ford, However sometimes its nice to take a Ferrari out for a test drive now and again.

Back in the 60s I bought a car. It cost me 30 bob. It came complete with a tin with a bit of wire and two pieces of silver paper (it had no ignition key and you had to short the ignition to start it). The gear stick had to be held in with your knee as you drove, and it did help if you started it facing downhill with a strong following wind. Ran it for 3 weeks, sold it for parts to someone who had similar model (probably model T Ford) for 5 quid! Before the days of MOTs of course.

Never had such a bargain since! - mind you, it was difficult to get it to go beyond 20 mph.
