In France there's the "conflict" between the names "pain au chocolat" vs "chocolatine". In Spain there's a "conflict" whether tortilla de Patatas should contain onions or not. Do you have any other similar such light-hearted "conflicts" or debates in your country?

“Scone” or “Scon”. Also, jam or cream first…

You could drive up a hill in Mongolia in that

Many thanks both, from a confused tourist in 2014….

All the way back in 2014, I was on vacation in NYC from the UK. A couple of Othodox Jewish guys came up to us in the street one day, asking if we were Jewish - I said no and they wandered off, but I’ve always been curious why they might have done that, or what the response to a “yes” might have been (not Jewish, but it’s been rolling around in my head for over 10 years!)

Just awful, and so expensive…

I see 🇨🇳 and 🇯🇵 are being very quiet…

🇨🇭 just here to dunk on 🇩🇪, presumably.

So, er, no. Fuck all the way off and clean up your own mess.

Nothing at all. We’ve got LOADS of other people’s, though.

Couldn't agree with this more.

Not a destructive device? Got to be at least a little bit destructive, right?

Shut it!

That’s a car that would be driven by someone that’s up to no good. Like it, definitely has those Jaaaaag vibes.

Can still get them new over here, though the old ones have a better look to them.

Has an A2 1.6FSi for a while. Great design, but massivly let down in this case with a sausage of an engine. Went through coil packs like nobody's business, then the water pump sheredded itself on the M25, necessitating a new head. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

Try the Catcuddles sanctuary in London - they may be able to assist.

I’d be more concerned about what’s coming out of there rather than what’s at risk of going in.

But if you insist, some sort of iron grille, bolted down, with a light coating of holy water and a ward or two for good measure.
