They would be fools not to have seen the blatant coercive use of 'customer

Now you are srarting to think.

Wouldn't it be nice, though'but if they were to consider the political /
marketing / socially responsible effects of encouraging the ideas of
maintaining the planets resources through reliability and longevity of

They've actually built a car that will 'run for ever' and they choose to
penalise me because I bought one.

See? Now I'm rambling. Curse you, Turner!
