Opel gets back in form with Astra OPC

I know your man Baz Ashmawy has that whole 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy thing all sewn up with his poor – but game, it has to be said – mother Nancy being asked to undertake all sorts of hazardous adventures for the benefit of television viewers and having the gizzard frightened out of her on the altar of entertainment.

But I’m sure she gets well recompensed for her endeavours. I certainly hope so.

The pair came to mind recently when I went to Dublin to collect my own dear mother who, at 93, might not quite be as sprightly as the boul’ Nancy, but is still fairly spirited when it comes to getting out of her comfort zone.
