Mechanic damaged my Fairing

I called biscuit retainers because they stop biscuits moving around.

 

Pah there’s no plastic in the world that can retain a biscuit from me.

 

They're not to stop you getting to them but to stop them sliding about. The biscuit chastity belt is to stop you getting to them

That would be cable ties to the English amongst us :D

 

I'm English and proud of it and I , along with everyone else who has made a useful contribution to this thread , will call them whatever I choose to call them thank you very much.

It is your absolute right to say what you want, we seem to be adopting more and more Americanisms, there have been references recently to "parking lots" instead of car parks. What next? Celebrate 4th of July and Thanksgiving? I also am English and proud of it and I try to use "English" terminology and not Americanisms.

Apologies Fleck, but you're just a pretender.

Any time you are trying to make yourself look or feel good at the expense of someone else you look a wally.this includes correcting people or otherwise belittleing. I think anyway.

 

And you may say that it is not about making yourself look or feel better it is about something else but I would argue otherwise when it's being done publicly.

My point was that we are slowly losing our identity to the Americans and we don't need to adopt their sayings we have a perfectly good language of our own. It wasn't a correction, it was an observation.

 

The posters could be American for all you know!


We aren't limited to just people from the UK


Why do you feel the need to police it?

I normally look for a location to see where the posers are from. I feel the need, not to police it but to protect the identity of our nation. It has to start somewhere. :shock:

It seems the Americans stole our language, messed it up and they are now trying to send it back to us as English. It's probably the result of watching an enormous amount of American television programs.

Location doesn't define where they are from! Look at [mention]RantMachine[/mention]'s location!!


Wrong place to be doing it! We are a bunch of bikers out for a good time not to be criticised on spelling grammar and use of terms

If you want to raise this kind of issue there are plenty of alternative websites and forums you could use without having to tag on the end of a thread about a damaged fairing . You really don't do yourself any favours with these pointless little digs .
