Calling any cross pond wanker, need assistance

[flaninacupboard]

according to this chap http://www.ourston.com/designmanual.html
the first "real" roundabout was built in the UK in 1956.

The first traffic roundabout i can find mention of is in Brighton near the pier, built in 1925.

You money is called pounds, no wonder you wankers invented the metric system.

The French invented the metric system, the poms still use imperial.

If by poms you mean brits, then please tell me what type of rock you are living under, it seems to be very effective. we arrest old ladies in the street if they dare ask for half a pound of apples.

Maybe they are talking money...you know like $5.00 worth of gasoline. Maybe they just want "half a pound" worth of apples. See you wankers are just fucked up, arresting old ladies trying to buy just enough apples to make an apple pie shame on you

1st of all they are not wankers, but tossers. 2nd of all we stole their parlimentary system and have
just descovered why they left it on the nature strip
unlocked. Bastards!

3rd. Although they stole roundabouts from
us we now prefer our traffic islands and
road humps.

By Poms I mean the English, not the denizens of the island of Great Britian, or the countrymen of the United Kingdom.

And While I might admit to standing corrected here - my wife whom left blightly in the mid seventies - swears they still use the imperial system
and I would never suggest she was mistaken!


Here in Australia the sunset clause in the law outlawing the use of imperial measurements has expired it, so it is no longer illegal to use imperial measurements. For example real estate agents like to advertise 2 acres rather than 0.8 of a hectare - sounds bigger to the punters!

I would take this system over monarchy any day. Can you imagine Bill Clinton as King William the Whatever? He would probably be on his fifteenth wife (Hillary would have gone the way of the guillotine two days after he saw Jennifer Flowers). We would be in our fifteenth year of war with the Arab League, and Capitol Hill would be the largest wine cellar on the face of the Earth.
