Nairaland / General / Formal British PM David Cameron Buys £1,500 Used Car For Wife by wealthyguyman(m): 6:28pm On Sep 14, 2016
David Cameron buys £1,500 used car for wife Samantha

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-36359921

Prime Minister David Cameron has bought a £1,500 used car as a "cheap run-around" for his wife, according to the salesman he bought it from.

Showroom owner Iain Harris, 44, said he thought a call from the PM's security team saying he was interested in the compact car was a "wind-up".

Mr Cameron paid £1,495 for the Nissan Micra in Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire, on Friday.

He said the blue car was "just the right colour" for the Tory leader.

Mr Harris said he first heard of Mr Cameron's interest in the car when he received a call to his office at Witney Used Car Centre, in the prime minister's constituency.

"I thought it was one of my mates having a wind-up and I was going to be sat here for half an hour on my own doing nothing - especially when he said it was for a Nissan Micra."

He explained that when he turned up for the appointment, Mr Cameron asked his security detail to stand behind the car to make sure the back brake lights worked.

Mr Harris said he could not resist quipping that it was lucky the car was not red - the colour of the Labour Party.

"Fortunately, it was just the right colour," he said.

Mr Harris added: "It was a bit surreal, but likewise he was just a normal chap buying a car for his wife, a normal conversation, normal sort of deal and that was it."

Guy, u can't quantify the competitiveness and fun MOU has brought to EPL. Hate him or love him, football should be enjoyed on and off the pitch.

This defeat is definitely not the ideal definition of humiliation . Ask Arsenal fans! LOL

MOU should visit the 'market', I insist, for a potent striker, creative mid fielder and central defender.

Ivinovic has become a liability and Costa an immature emotional wreck. Oh JT my man, but we need to rest u once a while....

It's a pity some of them have never run or own a big corporation to understand the role of cultural diversity to the success of such. Honestly, I wish they have examples of any country or organization that has implemented Itomi's ideology of governance and succeeded.

Check HP, Microsoft,toyota, etc all have Indians, Chinese, japanese,afrikans, britons, Americans etc in their employ.

Politics / Re: Naira "Appreciation": Why Nigerians Should Not Celebrate by wealthyguyman(m): 10:05pm On Aug 04, 2015
helpee:
@ barcanista, thanks for the analysis. kindly disregard those that have nothing to contribute except shouting wailing wailers. But i disagree with you. naira actually depreciated against the dollar because of excessive speculation. As you know, due to the ban on 41 products importers from accessing forex at the official rate, they had to source it from the parallel market. The excessive demand for forex by these importers from the black market at first created a scarcity that pushed the dollar up temporarily. speculators then cashed on that and started hoarding dollars thinking the dollar will keep rising against the naira especially since the new govt has no concrete plan in place. i was almost caught up too. i was advised to change most of my daily sales to dollars and then deposit in my DOM account in speculation of a further weakening of the naira. therefore, the banks were flooded by speculators with dollar deposits and many of them under the disguise of importation are laundering the money abroad via transfer. so, by refusing to accept the dollars, the CBN is playing a very smart move aagainst speculators. many people are therefore caught with dollars which they cant transfer or even deposit except to convert it to naira. therefore, the economy is flooded with dollars and demand is less than supply so the dollar must come down.
IS IT SUSTAINABLE/
Yes but we will temporarily suffer in sacrifice for a prosperous naira. importers will be temporarily caught unaware. the CBN will only create a bereaucratic bottleneck that will make it difficult for anybody except importers to access forex. BVN is one of the them. money launderers that used to access forex and transfer via DOM account will be cut off by the bottleneck. speculators will not find it attractive to hoard dollars because unless they ggenuinely need the dollars, they wont be able to get value for it since they cant spend it locally, cant transfer and cant even deposit. what do you need a useless dollar for?
it is not easy to open domicilliary account in neigbouring countries like you suggested unless you are a citizen or permanent/legal resident so few will be able to divert import activities to the neigbouring countries. therefore, even without increasing local production of imported stuffs, the naira will still stabilise against the dollar at a favourable position cos the most damage done to the naira usually comes from speculators. once we only access just the dollar we need for importation, school fees and other legal business abroad, we will stop speculating with the naira .
Even if things are temporarily expensive, we youths should take up the challenge and start producing. you can start with toothpick for example cos it is part of the products banned from accessing forex officially. the bottomline is that if it will be sustainable we must support the CBN in this quest. this is the first policy of this govt/CBN that i support.

2000 likes. Very balanced analysis. Just wish some nlanders will outgrow their pathetic political inclinations and see things the way they truly are.
Barcanista, keep the check and balance role on this govt going.
