There's always someone selling a Volvo
I think the most interesting thing for me is the spinning thing underneath pedestrian crossings – it always amazes everyone I tell it to as well!!!
What’s this I’ve missed?
I’ve learned that log burners are brilliant and also really bad. I don’t know what to believe any more.
I've had a tantalising glimpse into the unimaginably glamorous, high-octane life of jet-setting opulence that is the lot of the international paper-clip salesman

With terrible taste in shoes...
I learned that growed up men play with Lego and get excited about receiving kits for Christmas all wapped up in shiny paper. I seriously had no idea.
That reading is a hotbed for gnarpoon riding.
Reading the forum?

If the question has car in it the answer is going to be “a Skoda” mostly.

That the people of STW can argue about everything, absolutely EVERYTHING

There's a spinny knob thing under the control boxes of pedestrian crossings for the benefit of deaf/blind people. Though how they're expected to find the box in the first place I've no idea.

This is true if the question is "what lease car is Cougar giving back in about an hour?"
That the people of STW can argue about everything, absolutely EVERYTHING
No, we can't.
Are you just here for five minutes or is it the full half hour?
There is a little arrow on almost all fuel gauges which indicates which side of the car the filler cap is on.

To be fair, this one blew my mind. Quite literally.
That many people are incapable of making minor decisions without affirmation from a bunch of people they don't know, like "what toothpaste for someone with teeth?"
Myself included. I remember asking for advice on what toilet flushing mechanism to buy, and I'm sure there's been many others.
That mountain biking attracts people from literally all walks of life. There's a running joke that there's no question that someone on here can't answer, but it's essentially true.
I realised we'd reached peak STW when someone asked for advice on balloon rides as a present for their other half and someone popped up, "well, I'm a balloon pilot and..." It struck me a) how cool it was that we had a balloon pilot on here and b) of course we have a balloon pilot on here because this is STW. It would have been more surprising if we didn't, which makes for kind of a neat place to be.
Though how they’re expected to find the box in the first place I’ve no idea.
By following the standard pattern of tactile paving slabs, obviously.
For controlled crossings the control box is always to the right of the stem of the L shaped tactile paving ( because guide dogs almost always work to the persons left)

Never to comment on an STW thread, d'oh!
That there is no such thing as boredom with access to the STW forum!
...and someone popped up, “well, I’m a balloon pilot and…” It struck me...
I read that and knew what was about to follow!
Don’t ask where to purchase a hard wearing pair of jeans unless you want two pages of vague abuse interspersed with some actual suggestions.
there’s no question that someone on here can’t answer

Oh, and Bombers.. not so much something I've learned but something I can never get rid of.. I have had a set of Bombers off a Kona Pahoehoe that I am incapable of getting rid of.. They have sat in my garage for over 10 years just in case I need to own someone with them.
