Are we a fussy bunch?
It seems to me that there is a huge gulf between actual condition, and the language used to describe it.

I was engaging in idle curiosity-

Something is out of place here; the word 'minter', mainly.
Or is it that T and G are so close on the querty layout?

you have to read between the lines.
when i used to go on dating sites, "bubbly" always meant chubby, "athletic" meant beanpole and "gsoh" never meant that at all!

When I was looking to replace the 2.7T the other week, the amount of shite described as 'mint' that I had the displeasure to wade through was a bit of a pain. The guy I bought the derv off was a trader, and refreshingly honest and without bullshit. It was a pleasure to buy a car from him. Who buys all these snotters? Stevie Wonder, David Blunkett, or that guy who sang with that bird in the 70s, Peters and wotsit?
