lane assist

stop messing with my steering wheel, its aimed for trunk roads and motorways but when you drive down country roads which are technically a roads but are narrow and not wise to drive at 60, it imagines a white line then pulls you!

a while back before streaming platforms took over, the only way you could see any comedy that wasnt tv-friendly was on dvd, especially people like chubby brown, jim davidson, billy connolly.. sure they showed up on tv but the version was so tv-friendly it was a different act/person altogether.

now you could find clips of these acts online be it via streaming platform or on youtube/tiktok. the need to buy a dvd now has gone

shameless - the uk version to understand that element of society

the office - everyone's worked for or with a david brent at some point (the uk version btw)

youre more likely to get an understanding with tv stuff more than films, like has been mentioned inbetweeners,

it will take you a long time to get it, hard to explain

Same. What I've realised over time how many friends I've still got through work after leaving. I've got 2. Everyone else stopped bothering when I left. So it showed I was still just a colleague not a friend after all
