Perhaps I should buy a box, just for the jokes? Please don't bother. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibelroad Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 7 hours ago, Sidecar Racer said: “After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, ‘Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep with a hot 23-year-old girl every night. Now, I have a $500,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 69-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things.’ My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV. Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy's problems.” Is the current car a DeLorean? His wife was 23 years old 50 years ago but is now only 69. This is the sort of detail I worry about. Possibly he has remarried? I bet I’ve ruined it now. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 And what is wrong with pints of wine?! People do realise they used to sell wine by the pint until relatively recently?

[hypothetical] I'm a wine bottler Currently my bottling plant is set up to fill 750ml bottles which I can sell in Britain and all over the world I'm offered the opportunity to spend a lot of extra money to set it up to fill 568ml bottles that I can only sell in Britain Nothing is saying that I can't still sell my 750ml bottles in Britain Am I going to spend a fortune changing it to restrict my market to one country or keep it as is to sell to the whole world? Not on your Nelly [/hypothetical] I doubt Pint bottles of wine will ever hit the shops except as a novelty. Look behind the headlines and see what you are being distracted from, that the demetrication of Britain post Brexit is NOT wanted, 98.7% of respondents in a govt survey wanted to keep metric measures.
