      Me too. I'm not sure which my favourite album is (if only because my moods change so much) but...

  5. I think'Morris Minor' is a statement of class. Minor means younger, smaller or less significant. If you had a Morris Minor you knew your place, you knew you wern't good enough for a proper Morris.
