They are generally the type that wear normal black lace up shoes with tracksuit or grey joggers.

[Harry Gates]

How the fuck did Skoda change?

Aren’t these (with perhaps the exception of Boadicea) a change to the pronunciation by the original non-English language?

File alongside all these countries trying to tell us what to call their counties, towns and cities, the most recent being ‘Turkiye’.
I bet in TURKEY they don’t use ‘England’, ‘London’ etc and have their own TURKISH way of spelling and pronouncing whatever they call our country and cities.

Peking - Beizhing
Burma - Myanmar
Various Indian cities
Kiev - Kyiv

Can add the Brecon Beacons to this list. What's the point of conquering a country if you can't enforce your own language on them?

The hooks on boots that have replaced lace holes, a bloody nightmare.

 

[Kevj]

I’m not keen on baseball caps in general, but can’t understand why some people wear their ears inside of them.

Speed hooks? Why, how are they a nightmare?

 

[Tex]

Speed hooks? Why, how are they a nightmare?

I had a pair of jump boots made to order. It doesn’t really matter like as they’re on the shaft of the boot that ought not to be visible as it’s covered by your strides but I hate speed hooks. They might be more convenient when lacing them up but I hate the look of them and expressly stated I wanted mine with holes all the way up.

The weather being warm and pleasant this morning, then changing to absolutely freezing cold around 2.30pm when I was already in Sunderland without my hat and gloves. I got chilled this afternoon and my hands were hurting

When you stop to let a car pass and they don’t hold a hand up to acknowledge it.
