Although maybe the term backup camera needs changign to
something like
reversing camera which is what we seem to call them in the UK.

you also drive on the wrong side of the road, so no.

We drive on the correct side you lot just followed the Napolonic
French, something to do with which side you drew your swords on,
that's
before you were all handed guns at birth obviously ;-P

France used to drive on the left side. Napoleon changed that to humour
the Germans, transit traffic to Russia 'n all that!

where did you get that from sounds rubbish to me. Before Napoleon
people didn't drive. So I really don't know when France drove on the
left, care to explain ?

It was to do with most people being right handed, so for fighting
with your right hand needed traveling on the left hand side.

So you think that the French trops used sherpas to get stuff to the
Russian front?


If you've seen
"One Bridge Too Far" you'd have a better understanding of the problems

nothing to do with a bridge to far, it was hundreds of years before.

You've never done service, right?

He probably thinks the movie was about a dentist who made a mistake.

Yeahh well, we might inform DD that the alaies drove towards Arnhem New

Sadly, Monty wasn't the only General who sacrificed troops to satisfy

often wondered whether he had bad intelligence, or ignored the reports.
