Escort, Micra, Volvo, Buzz Aldrin, Prefab Sprout

Tim Farron has spoken to the author of the Car Torque column of the Northern Echo; not so much on transport policy.

The closest we get to a revelation is that

I had never once been to Scotland until I was 21 and got lost driving the Newcastle University Students Union minibus in Northumberland and ended up over the border in Coldstream by mistake. I have been to Scotland many times since on purpose.

We don’t learn how much torque the Escort, Micra or Volvo had, but as Tim can talk the hind leg off a donkey, perhaps the interviewer didn’t get the chance to ask. And Newsmoggie does not condone torquing the legs off anything. Meow.

‘Tim can talk the hind leg off a donkey’
Perhaps talk the hind leg of a Herdwick sheep would be more apposite (Thanks to Arthur Ransome for that metaphor.)
