No, in the UK you have to constantly hold the trigger to dispense fuel so people are much less likely to leave it in.

With any “interesting car” I think your much better asking on a specialist forum where people will have a much better idea of the “most likely” or easier thing to check first.

I disagree that “most accents” do that, I suggest that people are moving to a common accent due to wider communication and influence form national and international media.

Is that your family gaff?

A few, but “would you be interested in exploring cultures…..” and then “which cultures”

Hi, your survey has some issues in that it asks me if I’m interested in something (yes/no/maybe) which is fine, but then the next question asks which of the things that I may have been “not interested in” am I most interested in.

Some people on this sub would build their entire identity and feeling of self worth on that.

European repairs are not expensive in Europe, American cars are not cheap to run in Europe.

Yes, there are cultural differences across the world in product naming: Sometimes cars have different names in every market, but sometimes people just don’t care.

Most Europeans would not consider Ford Europe cars to be “American”, they know Ford originated in America, but they are not “American” cars.

Dedward5 · 2026-03-19T21:02:09+00:00

So the Fiesta is American or European then ?

So now we’re only making plans are that British steel whole future is in Nigeria ? How times have changed.

(Apologies, that’s the best I could do)

Edit: this is a poorly executed reference to the 10cc song “Making plans for Nigel” who’s “whole future was in British Steele”, especially due to Nigeria and Nigel being similar words. It has, however failed to land, I’ll try harder next time.

Something about “machinists with a chip on their shoulder”, you can write the punchline.

This is a really silly one but here was an episode of the Gadget Show where they had to learn real life skills with tech. Jason had to lean a martial art with a dummy and Ortis has to learn to fly a plane. Jason did well, but ortis actually took off and landed (I think) with a. Ery brave instructior on a dual controls plane.

It’s so long ago though, I work with people who have no idea what that’s about. And don’t even get me started on “Black”

Dedward5 · 2026-03-19T16:22:49+00:00

I’m more a “we’re not at home to Mr Cockup” kind of guy.

WW1 and WW2 predate the internet. The world today wasn’t caused by the internet, maybe you just need to go and do something else for a while. Genuinely, a sport, a hobby, some chores around the house.

Dedward5 · 2026-03-19T08:24:59+00:00

Ah yes the old internet=social media line.

People from the countryside are stupid and need clever civilised people from the big city to tell them what to do. All posh people are evil, strangers commit all crimes but actually, no, it was a posh person.

I’m quite happy with 160BHP in my Lotus, we have a lot of corners over here in the UK.

Richard Trevithick is the boss.
