I thought the "yellow peril" referred to traffic wardens. Only context I've ever heard it tbh and have never used it myself. 

Me too, though I've never used it either, possibly because I don't park like a c**t drive.

Old people still wearing coats when they go out, even though it's over 75 degrees out there.

I'm with you HD, Fahrenheit for hot, Celsius for cold.

Was also a top of the pops theme tune from Phil Lynott. Although to be fair to top of the pops history it has worse things to worry about.

That would be Yellow Pearl.

A nice jingle jangle song.

My dad does this. I get that it's to emphasise how warm it is, but as I've no experience of using the Fahrenheit scale, I've no idea how warm it is meaning it's completely lost on me.

Anything above 70F is hot.

Rough guide, subtract 30 and then half it. So 70F is approx 20C.

Most people who leave reviews.
 


If the staff are so good, why have you scored them 7.5/10? If your stay was perfect why have you given the place 7/10?

There's still (some) value in reviews (of some categories of things), but taken individually they're dire.

I still look out for google reviews left by a former colleague. He mainly reviews fast food chains, car parks and cash machines. You'd be surprised how many cash machines are poorly positioned and badly affected by glare.
