Get a move on! It could be yards away by now.

Magnus Pyke was a well-known TV personality and sciencey person in the UK.

Thomas Dolby’s song merits a mention in the first paragraph:

No more questions, your honor.

Okay, that makes more sense.

But in that case I want to know why the pig in the display cabinet isn’t wearing a hat.

Is the pig meant to be his reflection? Why isn’t it wearing a hat?

I govenment site I visited recenly made a point of how it accepts emojis in passwords!

True, poor choice of phrase.

But I was thnking of something like

#define my_macro does not fit\
on one line

Unix or dos format?

Anyway, you probably need to put a backslash before it to indicate line continuation.

But wouldn’t it be better to use something more traditional, such as <br>?

Can “y’all” be singular, since there is “all y’all” for plural?

True. But I’d sum it up as “A roundabout is a group of T-junctions. A 4-way stop is a nightmarish hellscape that relies on people paying attention and being reasonable.” A 4-way stop near a school at drop-off time is basically Mad Max. Kids crossing at each corner holding up the vehicle that should be next, people splitting into two lanes so that they can turn right out-of-turn, buses obscuring the view, people who decided that “surely it’s my turn now”…

I noticed! That’s why my reply became a semi-crazed random stream of consciousness.

On the reality show The Amazing Race, it’s never the rock climbing or skiing or skydiving that holds back the teams. It’s driving the manual rental car from the airport.

I drive manual in the UK but have never tried a left-hand-drive manual car, I’d probably keep hitting the door with my left hand.

Only part of it.

There was a successful ad campaign based on how many people in the UK find it repulsive.

You can buy marmite in many stores in my area (LA).

Customs maybe be unhappy at bringing in food.

Don’t try to bring food. I’ve seen people stopped for smuggling meat. You’re probably okay with packaged sweets or chocolate, but you should declare it.

Don’t be fooled into thinking you can get tea if you see it offered. It may be some strange flavour, or very weak, or iced, or all three. And it will be hard to explain that you want milk and sugar with it.

Biscuits are good enough, but chocolate is rough.

And, of course, a “biscuit” will mean a type of savory scone.

If your shop, at most stores they will pack shopping bags for you and are a little shocked and overly grateful if you do it yourself.

Be prepared to tip in many circumstances (but not, oddly enough, for having your groceries packed).

Be prepared to be asked about football, the Beatles, the Queen, maybe even the King.

Don’t be offended is someone attempts to do a British accent at you, it’s meant as a friendly greeting.

If driving:

Four-way stops are like roundabouts without the roundabout. But with stop signs.

Pedestrians are not expected to look out for traffic, but are not allowed to just cross anywhere. So it balances out.

Someone has stolen the clutch pedals from all the cars.

“Why world I perform a show at a casino I have no stake in?”

The third thing is going to be: find out what “proportional font” means.

How did they get it to be so perfectly vertical?
