I’m afraid I can’t stand up for Britain here. You’re right. My 80 year old mother struggles to park the car, charge the car, shop online… at least the NHS does look after medical appointments without a phone.

Well, my daughter was born 9 months after we went to Toronto on holiday, so there’s that…

OK, I’ll bite… I know why Trump was wearing military uniform in that photo. The question is, why was that photo chosen for that meme? The answer appears to be to contrast Trump - good American, ready to fight for his country - with Obama - hippie dope-head - and Michelle Obama - apparently...

Remind me why Trump is wearing military uniform in that photo? I could post a photo of myself in uniform. It’s genuine, and I have a right to wear it on duty, but I would never claim my tiny involvement with the military was any kind of proper military service, because I am never and can never...

I’ve been genuinely distressed to discover a small anti-British element, too. I kept off the political memes thread and it turns out I was wise to do so.

Sadly

Anyone got stats on heat deaths in the USA? As I don’t suppose it is zero…

Tell me what the label on those sausages says.

Mythbusters busted that, sadly. If you think about how a rifle works, it’s not plausible.

I think I’ll ask them to put it on the ramp and show me the problem…

Here are a couple of pics - difficult to get as the TJ lives in a garage (useful in the crappy English weather). Looks like last time I went for the metal links.

No - almost totally stock TJ

Thanks all. I’ll take a look and see if I can get pics. Unlikely the inspection station is ripping me off - local and we have a long history so they would know I would badmouth them if they did something like that.

My TJ came up with an advisory (likely to fail next time) on the MOT inspection about 2 years/3000m ago. I can’t remember what brand we got to replace them but likely this Crown one (this is almost the only UK supplier…) https://jeepey.com/product/rear-sway-bar-link-tj-52087863/ They have just...

I have the Hellas and use Philips X-tremevision Pro150 bulbs from Amazon. Massive improvement.

Only 17 - AOL not really a thing here (but I had an email address in 1992); I managed to avoid cursive; and waterbeds similarly didn’t catch on in the UK. Still have and occasionally use a typewriter (c.1950) and a cheque book (not used it in 2 years)

Looks like Jeepey (UK supplier) won’t do international shipping but you are welcome to use a freight forwarder - see here https://jeepey.com/important-order-information/ That might be your only source for e.g. RHD headlight components

As a teenager I lived in one of Britain’s biggest brewing towns. You could forecast the weather by sniffing the air in the morning for the wind direction. Options included yeast (brewing), pork pies (not as nice as it sounds, smelt like dog food), marmite (famously divisive), and a burning...

More like the Welsh. ‘Where men are men, and sheep are nervous.’
