For everyone's benefit I try to educate them by yelling loudly as I pass.

What do you say? Do you say the same thing on the California bicycle path and at Heathrow?

 

At Heathrow or other urban locations like crowded SanFrancisco sidewalks I just plow straight ahead making no eye contact and let the other people dodge out if the way. In an airport with a baggage cart this can be particularly effective. I get practice at Costco.

On the MUP (multi-use path) I have been known to yell "in this country we walk on the right!" I have muttered "go back home" but not loudly. I'll leave my rant about the state of IT staffing for another time.

 

I've often wondered, do people in Britain tend to walk down the left side of a hallway also?
Here we tend to walk down the right side, the same side we drive.

I'm a nonconformist.

I walk against the grain in the mall and when on multilane highways I tend to drive in the left lanes most often.

 

...when on multilane highways I tend to drive in the left lanes most often.

I hope you are doing the left lane thing correctly...
- F350 or bigger truck
- 10 mph below the speed limit
- Leave your right blinker
- pretend to move 'back' to right lane then change your mind.
- Repeat fake lane change every 10 to 15 seconds.
- if someone does start passing you on right, speed up (or actually change lanes to wipe them off the road with your F350)
- when you arrive at destination, complain about people that drive in inside lane.

 

Sorry.

F250 Super duty.
3 -5 over the speed limit.
Only move right if someone is catching up to me.
I live in the unpopulated prairie so, what's a blinker?

I could cut you a break on the F250, the SuperDuty make it close enough.
3 - 5 over the posted speed limit in North Dakota is essentially 10 mph under the flow of traffic so you're good.
I'm really having trouble with you moving over for slower traffic - that is a deal killer, you fail the Sunday Driver and Octogenarian Driver certification.

 

you fail the Sunday Driver and Octogenarian Driver certification.

My grandpa taught me many things in life.
Unfortunately, many were to not do things like he did.

 

what's a blinker?

It's a signal device that driver's often don't use, apparently to avoid wearing them out.

 

So do Native Americans walk down the middle?

Yes, they do. Makes for interesting situations at airports like Heathrow with a large British and US population. This effect is also seen on my local bike/walking path where it passes through an area with lots of Indians. ( mostly H-1B visas but thats a different issue). The Americans walk on the right and the Indians on the left. When I come through on my bike it can get a bit dicey. For everyone's benefit I try to educate them by yelling loudly as I pass.

Blinker's replaced the 'Trafficator'

In London, to climb the stairs in the metro we choose the right...to face a huge lot of irate and hurried people... complaining in loud voice.

So, is the outrage that Toblerone held price constant (in British pounds) after their currency was devalued or is the story that toblerone is cheating customers?

Hershey used to do the same thing when the price of chocolate went up. Smaller bars to be sold at the same price.

Selling a smaller package at the same price is fine. But what it appears they are doing here (and they are far from the first) is to keep the package the same size at the same price, but have it contain less. That's deceptive. What's worse, and it has happened many times, is to actually increase the package size but have the amount of produce stay the same or decrease. I remember one product -- but can't remember which one -- that increased the package size, reduced the amount, held the price the same, and compared the new smaller amount to an even smaller package. It had two slogans in big print across the front. One was "New bigger package -- same price!" The other one was something like "25% more than the previous 12 oz size!" What they left out was that the "previous 12 oz size" was the next smaller package down (and was now something like 11.5 oz) while this package size had gone from 16 oz to 15 oz. Every word they printed was perfectly correct -- and were perfect lies.

Understood and well documented all over the Internet. I was just asking what angle the Fox Entertainment Network used to describe the story because I refuse to open a Fox News web page to find out for myself.

afraid you might have an allergic reaction? anaphylactic shock? there's always epi-pen, you know ... no wait... that's too expensive already ... it's cheaper to just stay away from Fox ...

The Go Go Gophers have been known to handle foxes ok, but I prefer to stay away.
