  1. It's no different to the Irish and Irish Americans calling us Brits which they use as a term of derision. Or the Australians calling us Poms. Again it used as an insult Gay people call each other queer but if I did I would face prosecution and probably lose my licence
  2. He wasn't wrong was he? They destroyed his political career for saying it though. But a lot of the present situation can be traced back the ECHR and some woke Civil Servants (and judges) who interpret the laws in a ridiculously nieve way.
  3. Nothing is selling at the moment. The market is completely stagnant
  4. A lot of big name artists that were approached to appear turned it down i was told. So yet again we saw the desperate ones that needed the publicity Katie Perry was good but she's American
  5. My workmate was born in Barbados and so when he retired he sold up and moved back there. Within no time he regretted it, sure he had a nice house etc but he said it was as boring as you know what. It was driving him mad. It made perfect financial sense but he struggled with it. Be careful what you wish for I could live for a while in Eastern Europe provided it was in one of the bigger cities but they are not the sort of places you want to grow old in My ex boss now lives in Spain in Almria but he hates the other British ex pats who he says are awful.
  6. Why else would you want to go out there ?
  7. It came too soon after the jubilee and the funeral. All that pageantry looses it's impact if you see it too often Some of the marching, negotiating the tight bends and arches was absolutely brilliant.
  8. When i was at school you didnt have the choice. You had to eat everything. Mind you, if you didnt like eggs some other kid would serupticially have it off you but in those days there weren't militant religious groups of parents who would sue the school at the slightest excuse. Should their offspring accidentally eat the wrong thing Also food fad parents who have to catered for with all their weird notions.
  9. For a long time a lot of school dinners have been meat and dairy free because of the complicated religious and dietary requirements of the kids Nothing to do with saving the planet.
  10. A lot of people who buy these products don't do it because they are opposed to eating meat. They do it because they suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome which is affected by red meat. My step daughter is one of them. I buy a lot of vegan products, cheese, ice cream, margarine, etc because I can't take dairy as i have got older. Other people are concerned about the links between meat and some forms of cancer. Bowel cancer in particular. If you have a family history of Bowel cancer it may well be suggested to you to avoid meat.
  11. You think litter is bad? The lay bys in Cornwall get covered in human poop in the summer and some poor council bloke has the job of clearing it up
  12. Another advantage of them is they are Day-Glo orange or yellow often and it makes it less likely that idiots will trip over them in the dark while trying to take a short cut to the toilets or coming back from the pub
  13. I just can't work up any enthusiasm for it A total non event but I will probably watch it because its going to be on anyway in this house.
  14. The Mevagissey roundabout in St Austell gets blocked completely on a regular basis by cars queueing for McDonalds and KFC. People complain but nothing changes. Locals a couple of miles up the road complain about having to constantly pick up the drinks cups and boxes from the fast food outlets that get chucked out of car windows
  15. I was in McDonald's on the A303 and a customer in there was having a moan at the staff because the drive through customers were visibly getting priority over those waiting inside. He was right too On the food apps the restaurant get penalised if they keep the drivers waiting
  16. We get a lot of these nowadays
  17. They used to fit them to old fashioned cars
  18. This The primers can't blow out if the back of the cartridge is tight against the breech
  19. Ordinary fairy liquid in water works pretty well in an old squeegee bottle. Don't put too much fairy in the water, just a tiny drop is fine. Then dry off with a microfiber cloth With the microfiber cloths don't wash them in soap powder. It leaves a dusty residue
  20. From what he was saying it's an indicator there might be more worth investigating They are if they are cracked. I had to have one replaced at an mot a few years back
  21. I have found out the answer. Raised "3D" letters and numerals create a shadow in certain lighting conditions . Particularly at night when the cars number plate light is above it. This makes the plate harder to read by ANPR cameras and other security cameras because it distorts the image seen by the camera. Also stick on letters can be just as easily unstuck and rearranged They are sold as show plates
  22. Modern car paint doesn't benefit from sealers which is all this it in reality. It's a throw back to the days of cellulose paint which did oxidise and was slightly porous. Even then the benefit was short lived
  23. My son hit a pothole in his BMW 5 series and the run flat tyre was completely shredded . They are not infalliable.
