Simcas weren’t all that popular. They were fair copies of Fiats and Alfas including the ability to rust away very quickly.
Fair comment. I said 'popular' to indicate that they were fairly common and the answer wasn't totally obscure.
All the Italian family cars were rust buckets in the 70's. Friend of mine had a Lancia Franchise, it was a standing joke to us other motor traders that if you walked quietly past his showroom at night you could hear them rusting.
What perfume giant started in 1886 as the California Perfume Co.?

I used to be captain of several successful quiz teams and have shelves full of medals and shields - courtesy of my brainy teams I might add. I also used to be quiz master for charity and fun nights etc. Always enjoyed it. I used to go to the Royal Oak pub quiz in Fuengirola once a week and was asked if I'd take this guy along to be my partner for this particular night (2 bottles of brandy for the winner). He turned out to be brilliant. I asked him if he'd acquired his 'knowledge' doing quizzes. "Nah". he said, "just did 7 years in the Scrubs".Where do you dig these up from Ivor !
Any takers for post #48?

Perhaps I should have said cosmetics but AVON do make perfumes. Been bought a few of their smellies in the past.

This is best done face to face in company where you can truthfully say that you, or anyone else, have the coins concerned in your pocket but I'll try it here.
I can give you 22 pence with just two coins. But one of them is NOT, repeat NOT, a twenty pence piece. How can I do that?
