New Prime Minister has car-sharing on his mind
13/05/2010
Many thorny disputes may lie ahead for the UK's new coalition government, but thankfully there is one subject the new Prime Minister and his Deputy are clear on: car-sharing together!
In their historic first joint-interview, David Cameron and Nick Clegg spoke of the importance of doing things together. "We've already talked about the Thirsk and Malton bi-election," announced Cameron. "Perhaps we'll share a car to save the petrol."
He certainly gets our vote on that one!
