Ford Ranger is a spectacularly ugly pick-up truck that looks like it beats up other pick-ups for fun.

One of these straight from the dealer’s forecourt will set you back 36,999 . I wonder about that missing pound.

But surely, when you get into five -figure sums you start looking a little closer.

Harry Enfield invented a character, a plasterer by trade, who would bound on to the stage waving a wad of banknotes.

I thought of sending them to one of the local Facebook groups I enjoy, but decided against it.

I suspected it would not be beyond Mr Loadsamoney ’s capacity to track me down and run me over with his truck.

So I wish him well, sort of sort of.

If I had to use a wheelchair or was pushing a pram, then my reaction would have been very different.
