100 Million Tons of Li

And covered with ice six months out of the year. All of the odd months.

What a strange comment.

Dumb Donkey doesn't understand US humor. "Oh, Yeah? Well, I had to walk 25 miles one way to school. It snowed every other day, and it was up hill in both directions!" Its something you tell a kid who is complaining about something silly. This really fits with you because the kids don't get it, either.

Sadly, Americans often don't get British Humour either, especially the really dry or obscure stuff.

It's your lifestyle that leaves you short. The days of happy motoring are coming to an end.

It's because the Brits misspell 'humor'.

They came to an end in S.E. England at least 20 years ago. I can't recall driving for pleasure for easily that long. I try and avoid any unnecessary journey now. Congestion, badly timed lights, speed cameras. It's all too much trouble except for essential travel like commuting where public transport has very rarely been a viable option for me. There's a limit to where the trains go and the buses are infinitely slow. One example, a 45 minute commute by car became 2 1/4 hours by bus, train plus bus when my car was out of action. That's 4 1/2 hours commuting a day !

Now don't start that business ! Why's it called English ? It's the language of the people who live in England. I accept that various modified forms exist. You should however call yours 'US English'.
