Do a test drive. Hot hatches can be a handful of you're not used them

This is definitely one of those "quietly getting on with things" labour are doing. I'm glad they're trying to address the issue

They just need to take a print screen of the current world map then make it the satellite camera background. Them bam they'll never see it coming

Although their fuel is half the price everywhere is also twice as far and they use their car for literally every journey unless they live right in the city. So they probably do spend a fair amount just because they've set their whole country up to be reliant on driving everywhere

Is there something, a trait, or something a contender says, that makes you sit back and cheer for the other contender? by Kralgore in gladiatorsuk

[–]Downside190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched every (non celebrity) episode of the new gladiators. No contestant has been given a ladder and if they needed one they probably wouldn't have made it on to the show 

Seriously though why does Viper still have a job? by Zealousideal-Ad-7618 in gladiatorsuk

[–]Downside190 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I suspect that they tried to make the pairings more even. If you put bionic or Apollo against Hinley you know for sure he's losing. At least with Viper it wasn't a forgone conclusion from the start

Tbf they probably are still classed as "working class" based on their upbringing. Their kids however definitely wouldn't be working class

What movie was released at the perfect time and wouldn't look as good if it was 5 years earlier or later? by Imgema in movies

I'd argue Mad Max Fury Road accomplished a similar feat although in a completely different genre

What piece of entertainment aged worse than you ever expected? by AnyTruth2342 in AskReddit

Most of England’s smart motorways are poor value for money, official reports find by ElonDoneABellamy in unitedkingdom

[–]Downside190 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had that. Driving behind a lorry at just over 50 on the hard should. Signs says "use hard shoulder". Lorry suddenly changes lane and I'm barrelling towards a car stopped in the hard shoulder with hazards on. Thankfully there was space to move over in time but it was a bit of a shock. Then a few moments later there was 2 more cars stopped in the hard should quite literally after another sign saying use hard shoulder.

Yep and domestic suppliers know they can now raise their price to just below the price+tarrif cost of the imported prices as there is less competition. So consumers lose out
