The pint is one of the few things that is actually smaller in the good old US of A than it is in the UK , 16fl oz vs 20fl oz.

Though their floz are bigger than ours so it's not 16floz either.

no its not. Its just some grumpy bastard who brought a shipment to my workshop - then spent 15 minutes on the phone telling his depot who he didn't have time for me to spend 10 minutes unloading it. He them drove it back to the depot 60 miles away and cost me two days lost production and £200 get the stuff moved back again

Chinese fortune cookies. They are not Chinese, they do not actually read your fortune, and they are not cookies.

Skoda Superb. A very fine car for sure, but Superb is stretching it.

Skoda have previous in using 'caravan' names for their run of the mill cars.

Superb
Rapid
Favorit
FABia
ROOMster

Instead of

Adequate
Ordinary
Tolerable
Disappointing
Not That Big

The aim is to prefix any caravan you see with the word, "@r$e". Minutes of fun...

Does anyone fail? Pretty low measure of success.

I disagree; when I had some I hardly had to wait at all before "click!" the poppers would come undone.

That No More Tears shampoo for babies.

We used to give our kids a spoonful of that before bedtime but they still used to cry all night.

And what's the T in MTB?

(Yes, I know really, it's terrain.)

Mum to Be

Mid-amble Transmission Burst

Mexico Tourist Board

Actually from a list of acronyms MTB is both 'Mountain Bike' and 'Mountain Trail Bike' but I suspect the later is a backronym.
