Overheard in London

Neighbo(u)r: I just like driving Stephen's car better.
Me: Why is that?
Neighbo(u)r: Well, for one thing, it's safer. It's a Focus ...

Um, excuse me? When did a Ford Focus become a model of vehicle safety? What could you possibly be driving now that is less safe? This is frightening to me. And this is no dig on my neighbo(u)r. This is a dig on a country so tightly packed with people that a Ford Focus is deemed a safe car. I'm astounded. Truly.
