Has anyone read the "Tale of 2CVs" by Simon Day
I found it quite entertaining for a semi biography. It arrived on Monday and I finished it this morning...

I just read the 'Sad little 2cv' story... Eric the economist? Nah! he has a Toyota Prious.
It's Paddy the p*key that would would turn up around here, and as if by magic the sad little 2cv would vanish without trace!
