And we'll have less insults about the Cornish as well.

So now I'm driving a diesel Audi - bought as a retirement present to myself and not one I can afford to repeat so I'm stuck with it, and find that all these years I've apparently been damaging the planet and paying through the nose for the privilege of doing so!
Still, it's a lovely car so there's that compensation.

Oh dear, diesel and an Audi... you are the devil incarnate!
Perceived wisdom changes so often, I wouldn't worry about it. There isn't a form of transport that is actually good for the environment. It's the intention that counts
But even so... a diesel Audi?

Don't worry, you can't afford one.
Can't I? I'll have to check my bank account then, see who took my money out

It's gone to NIgeria. Look on the bright side - you get to help the poor as well as saving yourself from having to own a diesel Audi.
