Earlier this summer, after more than 30 years together, my wife informed me she was a diehard showjumping fan. In our decades of togetherness, she'd never actually mentioned this. But then they say surprise keeps a relationship fresh. So, fully refreshed, we headed off to Badminton for the horse trials. We had a nice day, thank you, and she loved seeing the horses. I was more interested in the car park. It was wall-to-wall 4x4s. There was a scattering of ostentatious Range Rovers and high-end Mercs, their shiny wheels untroubled by mud, but the bulk of the cars were beaten-up, filth-encrusted pick-ups, and by far and away the most popular brand was Mitsubishi.
