Established 1896 on the other hand... I saw an 'Est. 2018' a while back. Some folk presumably don't understand why other companies do this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only the burn, but skin cancer isn't pleasant either. The Aussies are very aware of this, doubt the corks on strings do much to help though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 There was one local company when I was growing up who put "Over sixty years experience" on their Yellow Pages advert. There were three of them who'd been in the business twenty years each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to get confused if nearside is near to the kerb, or near to the oncoming traffic? I always refer to driver side and passenger side if asked what side of the car something is on. I remember asking my Dad why it was called the nearside. He looked puzzled for a moment and said "Well, because it's the nearside of the car." Thanks Dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
