    Is it true that your cars are all rusted to hell after a couple of years?

    Yep, although pretty much all cars now are rustproofed if you go back 30 odd years to the days of the mini rust was EVERYWHERE. I know a guy that used to throw his rubbish (trash) out the floor of his car in the 80's through a rust hole in the floor. This was so bad in the 60's that cars were brand new and had rust on them in the dealership

    3. Is the traditional food tasty (Yorkshire pudding, shepherd's pie etc)?
    4. What the bloody hell?

    1. Do modern homes still get seperate faucets/taps for hot and cold installed?
    2. Is that as annoying as it seems? xD

    More on registration plates:
    For example BN02ERT would be a car registered between March and September of 2002 in Birmingham but BN52CHV would be between September 2002 and March 2003.
    Older Plates:
    1983-2001
    A plate is R362CBW. The R is the age identifier meaning it was made from 1997-1998. There is then three random numbers and a random letter and then an area code, this one is for Oxford
    1963-1983
    A plate is TBW297Y. The last letter Y is the age identifier meaning it is from 1982-1983. The first Letter is random and the next two are the area code (also Oxford). The three numbers are also random.

    1. Never in the south, just thunderstorms & flooding. If it does, everything shutsdown as the roads in the countryside will be totally unusable.
    2. Personally, I dislike a lot of things about it - I'm not going into politics because that will end badly.
    3. This depends.
    4. ...is not really a question.

    No-one should think that, that's just a stereotype.

    Granted, we do have a higher obesity rate, but still.
