OK, I have a few (apologies I haven't read the first 17 pages although I am about to!)

1. Why do you have public toilets with an 18 inch gap at the bottom, and a door about a foot high? Even more extreme I have used some facilities in public parks etc with NO DOORS at all

2 How come you could put a man on the moon but you can't get a system that alllows you to price an item correctly inc tax?

3 All those identical size/colour notes and the biggest coin is less than 20p

I cycled across the USA and had a lovely time and warm welcome btw!

PS. Tipping. WTAF?

Why can't Americans pronounce Worcester, Leicester, Bicester and Cirencester?

 

[roley poley]

or Colin

good answer. I genuinely had not thought of that as an option. Certainly when I camped (oo Matron) in the park/baseball field in Globe AZ I was done and dusted in about twenty seconds.

or Colin

or water? it comes out as "oo-odder" or "oo-arder" both of which could help in the bog-door-free shiduation

 

[roley poley]

or Keighley

 

[Proto]

Or Torquay

 

[Drago]

Or Slough.

 

[jay clock]

the worst place has got to be Loughborough for pronunciation

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Or Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllan

 

[Rocky]

How much bizarre autarkic rhetoric should we be tolerating at the moment?

 

[Drago]

Why do American script writers like to rewrite history, particularly involving WWII and the enigma machine?

 

[Yellow Fang]

Why doesn't America make any cool cars any more?


Also, I thought all American cars were automatics.
