Whilst not car related I like the way the do it in Richer Sounds: a half-hearted mention of extended warranty then an almost relieved "I don't blame you mate", in one case said out loud. A great shop, which always try first if I need that sort of kit

Just heard a BBC radio news announcer say "Macron", in reference to the French President. Doesn't he know that in true BBC newsreader fashion you have to pronounce it "Ma-kwaaaan' in a poncy French accent!! 🧐 
Things being described as "hacks". Unless you're:
(a) inexpertly using an axe or knife to chop something,
(b) applying a reducer to an opposition forward, possibly resulting in a yellow or red,
(c) breaking into a computer system or
(d) producing knowingly crap code to work around some other crap code you wrote a year ago and is now too embedded in the system to change
then it is not a hack.
Looking at you Jamie Oliver.
