A Ford Fiesta, if I remember rightly.
Fun fact, my grandfather never took a driving test since he got his license back in the days when all you needed to do was hand over five shillings.

- Comment on We'd like to welcome our newest Student to Hogwarts, Hun-Gary Mc'Spud. 2 weeks ago:
Hrrrm. But, going Dutch and Dutch courage don’t have any specifically anti-Dutch connotation in modern usage and I’ve never heard of a Dutch treat or a Dutch uncle. At least you chaps aren’t French!

Nobody does anti Dutch racism quite like the English.
Really? I don’t know many Brits who have a bad opinion of the Dutch. I certainly don’t; I’ve never met a Dutch person I didn’t like.
Comes of them being conquered by William of Orange back in the day.
Billy the who now?
- Comment on Fixed speed camera toppled hours before switch-on 2 weeks ago:
Well no they discourage fast driving
Not really, or at least not with the fixed cameras. They encourage speeding as normal then harsh braking just before the camera then speeding again. Just watch traffic on the motorways when a temporary speed limit is imposed. People slow down for the gantries where there might be cameras mounted then floor it to the next gantry.
Average speed cameras are a better bet if you want to control speeding, but perhaps don’t make as much money.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 2 weeks ago:
Being a Brit, for years I’ve jokingly referred to the 4th of July as ‘Rebellion Day’ to my USian friends. Not sure I’m joking any more, just hopeful. Go on. Rebel!

- Comment on Might be time to find another job 3 weeks ago:
I know, right? I often go shopping and buy ingredients and (sometimes) cook those ingredients, then slice them, assemble a sandwich, pack it, bring it to work, put it in the staff fridge and… then… do you know what… I just end up hoping someone will eat it so I don’t have to. Why else would I just leave it sitting around in a lunchbox with my name on?
- Comment on Remembering those times 3 weeks ago:
I remember back in the days of Commodore 64s that you could go to Boots in the UK and just switch the price sticker from a £1.99 ‘budget games’ title with one from a full price blockbuster. No electronic point of sales data, just a bored teenager who knew fuck all operating the till. Good times. Wonder if anyone ever bout the budget game with the expensive sticker.
- Comment on Everything happens for a reason 3 weeks ago:
Pffft, maths is just the language by which we describe some of physics.

- Comment on no way right 4 weeks ago:
I’m assuming that it’ll be some property of Trump’s that has recently had its insurance significantly bumped.
Trump gets his excuse and the insurance payout and his rabid supporters get further evidence of his exceptionalism.
