Parker's review. Written by the C&CC in house journo?

[OGII]

Oh dear.

Volkswagen California (2024) Verdict

Read Parkers' expert verdict on the Volkswagen California and if you decide the California is for you, which version is the best for your lifestyle.

www.parkers.co.uk

Badly edited, can't make it's mind up if Beach is back or gone from UK. Great quote about hardly anyone buying the entry level Beach variant.

Waxing lyrical about the benefits of in house manufacture the final verdict decides the only rival to a Cali is a GC.

Can the reviewer go back to writing about tent pegs or Kias or something? I just wasted 2 minutes reading the Parker's review and only learnt not to trust a Parker's review.

Still, there's hope for us all. When we fancy a career change and realise we aren't good enough to be estate agents we can always rely on journalism.

Just read the "review".........what a joke. Wouldn't believe his tent peg review either, if he did one. "Tent pegs are useful for bashing into the ground and tying a tent guy rope to.

Hang on..............I think I can do this for him..........

Sorry about that.....!

At least your work was informative, vaguely useful and seemingly accurate.

Bugger! I was aiming for “entertaining”!!!

To be fair you do show some promise. Your tent peg piece was MUCH better than the Parkers review. Credit where it's due.

Have you thought about making some of those Youtube 'how-to' vids? You know, the ones where you're actually pleased when one of the ads comes on...?

A new career awaits! Maybe an instructional video on pegging out the awning....

Could be considered an "inside" joke.

Oh dear....:this could run and run! All the innuendos about pegging; giving it a good pounding/hammering; getting it in deep; driving it home; never using a hole that someone else left; wiping clean after use....!

Carry on camping!!!

 

[B16 JOG]

Sometimes, you don’t need to hammer or drill it - you can just use your fist?

(Can I have my prize now?!!)

 

[B16 JOG]

As many can confirm, (after much fumbling about in the dark, occasionally getting a finger caught where it shouldn’t be, and working yourself into a sweat to finish the job,) there is nothing more disheartening to hear than immortal words: “Is it in yet?”

 

[clarinetbcn]

As long as the straps are first class the initial position of the peg isn't that critical.

 

[westfalia]

(Can I have my prize now?!!)

No.
You never mentioned spit roasting.

 

[B16 JOG]

Fair point! I also omitted DP as some like to double up if it gets very blowy!

Double entendres....looks like you picked the wrong meanings! I’m going to stop now before someone is offended. And, if anyone was offended, I apologise.

Probably best to leave it there but it was post#13 that sent it off,
referring to an old post.
I won't give you the posters name but it sounds like - leen and begins
with ei.

Just don’t go in dry in the pegging that would make you wince
