Must be something to do with the year numbered Reg.

I’d assume it’s mostly to do with people taking advantage of the falling strength of the pound and buying higher spec 2nd hand cars from the UK/North.

There is a band called TFK.
An abbreviation for Thousand Foot Crutch. They’re Canadian and Christians apparently.

Fagan_ODowd · February 5, 2019, 12:40pm

Seriously is today the first time you googled TFK?

Fitzy · February 5, 2019, 12:41pm

I just hadn’t noticed it before.

Julio_Geordio · February 5, 2019, 12:48pm

Thousand foot krutch and I’d say they owe a lot of their web hits to @Rocko

habanerocat · February 5, 2019, 3:17pm

It might be the other way around.

We could give them a bit of business on the old T-Shirt front.

Julio_Geordio · February 5, 2019, 3:37pm

This forum is full of right wing Christians
