68vitesse Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thought half a dollar expression was a lot older something to do with the Spanish Dollar, but being male could be wrong often am. Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Don't forget the guinea And the Yanks have a "penny" which I think is a cent? I use 'C for temperatures (centigrade - don't hold with the new fangled celsius) but 'F when its really hot - 90'f sounds much better than 32'C - but 0'C sound much colder than 32'F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterH Posted August 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 As I said in second post. I'd take him any time, but this mother (daughter-in-law) insists on wrapping in cotton wool. Next time we child mind - but he's bound to tell her then I'll be deep trouble. My Mini doesn't have rear seat belts - 1979 - no fixings , but that's another story.

According to my computer we no longer speak English it's American or American English. Having said that, I suppose a large percentage of the population doesn't speak English, either...

Pete Lewis Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 seems there is little clues for 2 seater cars most sites seem to leave them out when they are quite prolific and needs spelling out , yes they are just front seats but i get the feeling we would all be safer if we all face rearwards and Im the wrong age for my height we cant avoid safety responsibilities but too much nanny state cotton wool wrapping seems inevitable when in a car , but you can fall off your fairy cycle go cliff jumping swimming boating and a whole host of quite dangerous activities with little or no controls till you get in a motor car accepting common sense is very variable but what happend to the guy steering his 206 with mole grips sitting on a bucket some rules are just never considered Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
