At work not so long back in the canteen
And talking to younger colleague. Looking out the window I saw a mid-80s Renault 5 park up.
"Ooh, an old Renault. Not seen one of those in years" said I. "What's yours called?"
"What?" she replied
"The advert from the 80s, the tagline was 'the new Renault 5, what's yours called?'."
"What's a Renault 5?"

So you're surprised that someone younger than you doesn't remember a shit old advert for a shit old car?

No
That she hadn't heard of an old car.

I'm not a sexist, but
Most womens' knowledge of new cars stops at 'it's red', so it's especially unlikely that a car that was only of interest to boy racers in its Turbo and GT Turbo variants would make a dent in the average woman's psyche.

Now if only you'd been talking about a Ford Ka with body-coloured bumpers and eyelashes, she'd have gone all Jeremy Clarkson on you.

She'd have used her flapping lips and wobbling jowls?
