Comments by "S Andersson" (@sandersson2813) on "IWrocker" channel.

America has never been about quality. The entire American ethos of consuming is for every product to be "bang for the buck" which is the antithesis of paying for quality.

It's weird when Yanks say "I could care less" it makes zero sense
12
America has some of the least safe driving in the western world despite lower speeds. This contributes.
12
@saxon-mt5by Like what? Americans need to stop taking everything as being literal. It's called hyperbolic language. I'm sure there might be some American products which are high on quality, but quality in general isn't part of the American psyche to the same degree it is elsewhere.
12
@JesusMagicPanties Europe is a far more free place than the USA. USA ranks something like 17th for freedom.
12
America has an obsession forgetting tje most from the least money hence quality is immaterial. It's why virtually every product they make is low on price but low on quality. They think luxury just means "bigger"

@gregmayoaussie Kinder isn't American chocolate though. It's Italian

@wlbond008 You don't. It is the United Nations, not the United States

@wykydytron US plates look shite

@Muchoyo Han er Dansk, ikke Engelsk, Engelsk er hans annen språk.

@JesusMagicPanties Sounds like you should take off your tin foil hat. Clearly if all you have to worry about is number plates, then your life is probably pretty good.

I love Almdudler, always drink it in Austria.

Same population? Europe has 746 million, USA has 330 million

@blahmcblahface3965 US accident rate per 100k is TWICE as high as UK DESPITE the US having low speed limits.
6
@christopherw2233 German cars are fine, it's just that US takes appalling care of their cars, for a start all German cars are supposed to run on 95 Ron fuel, not 91 that most of you put in. Also we service cars annually and don't take trips for just 500 metres.

@dicem8977 at least spell it right

@karenneill9109 Then it would be Fineland if it was a pun on it being the best country. Findland isn't a pun on anything in this context
5
@DexMaster881 The inspection is not that rigourous. Brakes, emissions, steering, suspension and body integrity, that's about it. If you can't afford that, you can't afford to eat all those McDonald's either. It's no excuse and is rather an arrogant viewpoint that only Americans drive to work
5
@Mattlawton-ft6ew The US has an obsession with "bang for the buck" over quality, so virtually everything they make is cheap and nasty.
5
@automation7295 There's nothing wrong with having old cars, but don't you think that on order to use them, they ought to be ROADWORTHY?
5
America has an obsession with getting things cheap, which means that quality suffers. Hence why cars, houses, kitchen appliances etc are so rubbish.
5
@saxon-mt5by So good in fact that they went out of business. Not really a very good example and having to back to pre WW2 to name something of quality that came out of America is rather scraping the underneath of the barrel. Both brothers were Germans.
5
@AnOldEnglishBloke Henry Ford also had some links with the Nazis
5
@Real_MisterSir Agreed, fairly weak argument if a car company is so stupid to only design for one small market.
5
@ane-louisestampe7939 You give the kid a gun to play with instead.

Only a certain demographic looks down on large cars in Europe. Either it's those who are envious or it's some deluded environmental maniac

One of the funniest things about 'Muricans is that so many of them believe they are the most free country in the world, in reality they're ranked about 15.

@iHelpSolveIt The "World" in World Series refers to the original sponsor. The World Newspaper, so this time, the ignorance is on you.

There's no such thing as Italian beans.

@saxon-mt5by And I pointed out that we didn't always speak literally. Have you never said anything like "no one thinks that" or "that's impossible" when it doesn't mean actually literally?

@bananenmusli2769 Assumption is the mother of all mistakes.

 @jennyh4025 You can import ANY car. There is no restriction on things like "visibility" Name me a car that is deemed "illegal"
3
In Norway it is insulting to tip
3
@IWrocker Russia is more diverse because it contains dozens of unique regions as well as a number of different ethnicities. It's impossible for the world's biggest country which stretches from Europe to Asia to not be more diverse than the USA .
3
@christopherw2233 so you shouldn't blame the cars or their engineering then like you did, but blame the people in your country who buy them.
3
@klamin_original they are actively ignorant. I'm not from the country most of these companies are from but I don't think they're from mine.
3
@Dr_KAP It's bollocks that the only good blend is Italian. How snobby do you want to be?
3
@TheHiltonblake Tigers? Ha ha

@HBBatista The Sahara desert is a geographical location. It is in Africa. Desertification doesn't mean that an area that becomes a desert suddenly becomes part of the Gobi, Kalahari, Sahara etc. Any desert which forms in Portugal (100's of miles from the Sahara) won't be classified as part of the Sahara desert.
3
@IWrocker Similarly, nothing at a Shell station makes you think it is American either.
3
@davidcolin6519 Yes exactly. My point was that the belligerent Pole moaning about cameras has got it the wrong way round. Furthermore, if you have front and back plates then a SINGLE camera can collect data from cars in both directions. Si llt fact is that in the majority of the world, front and rear plates are mandatory and 99% of car manufacturers design cars to accommodate this.
3
 @nickfielding5685 There is no such country as Findland
3
Why are you baffled? Diesels main benefit is higher MPG. MPG isn't remotely important in the USA because a gallon of petrol is practically free. Could you really not think that far?
2
 @Blackadder75 There are hundreds of German beers, you can't include them all. I do like a Warsteiner though.
2
@hc7873 Ha ha. I bet you aren't even old enough to drive. It's not as if you're driving around the UK as if you're on a Rally Stage. Manuals are outdated.
2
@nightfly4664 Name an imported car that isn't road legal. obviously there are track cars, but standard road cars sold elsewhere, are not illegal to import and drive. Someone suggested the Cybertruck. That isn't illegal on European roads.
2
@Mean-bj8wp There are 35 million cars in Britain, there are 250m cars in EU. Britain is in excess of 12% of European market, car makers already DO make UK specific models, or at the very least UK versions of already existing models.
2
@sinisatrlin840 NCAP is VOLUNTARY, it even says so on their own website, and only deals with cars sold NEW within Europe. You should probably read it. I'm glad we have it, but it doesn't affect imports and is only a guide, it is not binding. Naturally manufacturers want to get the best rating as it helps sales and reputation, but it isn't mandator, so you're talking out of your arse.
2
It shows in accident statistics too. European drivers are so much less likely to have an accident than Americans.
2
@Hiforest No you don't. You only have to contact the police if you are unable to exchange details at the scene. This is from the Metropolitan Police website. Police don't have time or resources to record every incident.
2
@SilvaDreams Canada and Russia are much bigger than the US, bit neither would say they came from Toronto or Volgograd.
2
Russia is MUCH bigger than the USA, and Canada is also bigger than US.
2
It's only for a couple of days. Dry your eyes, it will be back to 16c before you know it and you'll he wishing it was warm again.
2
@BradGryphonn Yes, it is extremely hot on many places for months on end, Australia, India, Pakistan, USA, Africa, Asia, Qatar, Dubai, Oman, Saudi Arabia, etc. It's common
2
We have seen 100f hundreds of times in UK. Weather forecasts predict temperature IN THE SHADE. EVERY summer sees actual weather hotter than 100f or 40c. It's just about how we define it
2
@diongibbs312 Last time on Cambridge when it was 39c I had a 10l run. It was lovely. It's warm, but it's not oppressive is it
2
French bitterness
2
What's that got to do with this?

Everything European is better
2
I only want petrol, I don't want overpriced coffee, drinks chocolate or sandwiches.
2
Most Volvo are NOT made in USA, Volvo primarily for sale in US are made there, Volvo for other markets are made elsewhere.
2
@denzzlinga People who have private number plates are almost universally seen as wankers.
2
Pizza isn't American. The shit you buy in America isn't pizza, it's barely food.
2
@Vectorspace000 Ensuring it yourself is marking your own homework, hence why American cars are such ancient wrecks. Also, many of their pickups don't even require an emissions test.
2
@AT-nq6cu Household appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines are terribly low quality in the US. US cars have incredibly cheap interiors made with low grade plastic and have shoddy cheap steel on the exterior. I had a Dodge Challenger in Texas and the hood rippled at 70mph. American food is the lowest quality on the western world. There's a good reason why a lot of American goods are not exported. American made Tesla are lower quality than the Chinese made Tesla.
2
@gerardflynn7382 He'd be 135.
2
@esaedvik You must have only been in tourist areas. San Francisco is chock full of homeless people. Just look under flyovers, covered in tents
2
@marjanmoskov4679 It really isn't. If I know where these companies come from, and I don't think and have never been under the misapprehension they come from my country, then I'm anything but ignorant, quite the opposite. America, with their insular media and education system routinely and repeatedly demonstrate how ignorant they are of basic facts and basic general knowledge . The sheer naivety and hubris to think that every good company "must be from America" demonstrates clearly that they have such little thirst for knowledge and simply assume that the USA is the source of everything.
2
@Dr_KAP It's subjective, not factual.
2
Duchess isn't that expensive in Europe, It tastes like Branston Pickle and makes your cheek glands contract
2
Lower speed limits, lower driving standards, lower age for driving, cheap, freely available cars equals more accidents
2
@katii1997 Also, did you know that you don't need to sit any sort of test to ride a motorbike in USA, if you have a car licence you're good to go. That's insane
2
Pretty sure pick ups aren't subject to emissions tests either.
2
How do people know what piss tastes like?

@MrBeajkovec . Starting a comment with "tell me you".... Is a firing squad offence.

I've heard American's claim Toyota and Mercedes Benz as American.
2
It's not just bad coffee, American food and diet is terrible
2
Jesus, that must have been miserable.
2
@davidc.w.2908 Fortunately I don't live in the backwards USA. Most European cars have 12 year corrosion warranties, and virtually every car sold meets 5* Safety Standards. American driving standards are lower, maintenance standards are lower and your cars on average are older. Recalls are good because the companies are LEGALLY required to fix problems which have arisen, whether that hasn't always been the case. It's not possible to design something as complicated as a car and not have unforseen problems. Unfortunately circumstances are not always predictable and you'd be naive to think so.
2
@fireblow44 What are you on about. You know nothing about my taste in cars. I agree there are some cool cats from the past, some that you mention I wouldn't agree with, but jumping to the conclusion I like Apple is rather juvenile.
2
Did an American actually think he had good food?
2
Bad clothes, bad hair, bad beards, bad shoes, loud, brash, overweight, impatient, showy. You can spot an American a million miles away.

@ane-louisestampe7939 Dangerous hooks? Are there safe hooks?

 @nickfielding5685 Can you not spell?

Americans like their processed, cheap food generally do it terribly.

@Muck006 The majority of mass shootings in America are indeed from legally owned guns. Either way, I didn't even mention legality, bit your laughable gun murder rate shows how immature you are in regards to firearms

Watch the Grand Tour tribute by Richard Hammond, its much better than this annoyingingly narrated film.

I despise Ryanair, but sometimes you have to suck it up and endure the torture. Norwegian is probably the best budget airline in Europe
1
My last five or six cars in Europe have been automatic. No real need to drive a manual anymore. Virtually all premium cars are automatic.
1
You think a cent or a penny costs more than its face value to produce? Ha ha ha ha. You can probably mint 100 for a penny or a cent
1
@johnwhear9600 Then your mint must be ludicrously inefficient. 1p in the UK costs less than 1p
1
@johnwhear9600 Might well be, but still laughably inefficient
1
@johnwhear9600 I suspect they lie about how much it costs otherwisebitbwould be incredibly easy to forge and make money. If they pretend they cost more than they're worth then it hinders people from trying it .
1
@johnwhear9600 My point was that it would be a simple thing to counterfeit. The higher the value the higher the security built into the design and the more costly it is to manufacture. Anyway, it's a cent, not a penny

@doomslayer1984 Are you mental. If you discriminate against ANY skin colour that is racism. For example if you discriminate against white people for a job, that is racism.

 @jasonmatthewson8534 LEVC is Chinese
1
 @jasonmatthewson8534 They aren't doing defunct brands, otherwise there would be hundreds
1
@denisspratt926 Ha ha, I clearly didn't watch very far
1
What we could also do with is an annual insurance test to ensure your car has not been modified in a vulgar way which invalidates your insurance. Plus if you have a skin fade, white trainers or a tracksuit your insurance should be tripled.
1
Those are only the export ones. Like most countries they have a lot of beers which aren't so easily found but are far better. Worth trying some online sites to order some.

Backwards country.
1
@jakdawscreech I was referring to how much of a twat Hamilton is. Personally couldn't give a fig about F1. It's not a sport, it is just an engineering competition. Nothing more boring and it doesn't matter who is driving.
1
@stevenlavoie8897 That's a fucking lie.
1
@wlbond008 What American protection? Ford and GM sold their stakes in Saab, Aston, Landrover, Volvo and Mazda AT A LOSS, because Americans don't understand cars outside their own borders. Tata and Geely made Jaguar and Land. Rover and Volvo profitable almost immediately and it is clear that all those companies make far better cars than when US companies owned them.
1
American Bud is absolutely repulsive. Almost meaty.

Pool is a piece of piss compared to snooker.
1
@sinisatrlin840 Ha ha. What cars from Asia are there other than Chinese, Japanese and Korean? You going to just ignore the Malaysian ones which were fine? What vehicles CANT stop in that time?
1
@sinisatrlin840 To be fair I thought you'd have the common sense to realise I'm not talking about cars from truly backwards countries. It's true that many American cars are a bit agricultural, but I can't think of any that wouldn't pass muster to enter the EU. Anyway, most of the things which the EU have trouble with is things like indicators or specific tyres. They can easily be remedied.
1
@sinisatrlin840 The American cars that you can buy more than meet minimum NCAP standards. Japanese cars have some of the worst emissions on the planet, but as long as you PAY you can drive it. Imports are not subject to NCAP. NCAP only refers to cars sold WITHIN Europe. Euro NCAP is also VOLUNTARY.
1
@jennyh4025 I agree it's a monstrosity, but when you consider some of the hideous supercars allowed, you have to wonder what case could be held against this truck. PS I hate Tesla
1
@sinisatrlin840 There's early GTR's and Skylines etc all over Europe imported from Japan. So you admit you were wrong about Euro NCAP not being mandatory?
1
@jennyh4025 There is absolutely no way that the woke EU is going to ban any EV from Tesla. Weight concerns? Ha ha. You think there aren't heavier vehicles granted and cars with lower safety standards? I hate Tesla, think this car is incredibly ugly and stupid, but you need better reasons than that. Tesla, as much as I despise them have some of the absolute best crash test results and preventative technology, so safety really isn't an issue.
1
@jennyh4025 You're just being ridiculous now. It is a commercial decision by Tesla, not one made by European law. Much as I hate Tesla, their safety is not in question.
1
@sinisatrlin840 You said you live in Switzerland didn't you? Not part of EU and this NCAP doesn't apply, not even voluntarily. Switzerland doesn't even have any NCAP test centres. So you brought up a strawman thinking you had a "gotcha"
1
@jennyh4025 Ha ha ha ha. You can't stand being wrong can you? Tesla have not yet made their mind up in relation to if the Cybertruck will be released in Europe. First of all crash tests aren't mandatory, and NCAP isn't enforceable. It also only relates to cars sold WITHIN Europe and is a completely VOLUNTARY process. Do you seriously think Tesla would risk sales and reputation by releasing a car deemed unsafe? What a truly preposterous belief. It's purely going to be based on COMMERCIAL logic, not safety. Tesla engineers have also explained the design of the vehicle in relation to crumple zones. The reason that it probably won't make Europe is down to a lack of demand for such sized vehicles in Europe.
1
@littleDutchie92 You should probably stick to the bus then or go and see an optician. I've had SUVs that had far better visibility than lower down cars. SUVs do not by default have poorer visibility. It just sounds like you didn't adapt well to a different car and aren't particularly observant. I'd hardly call a Grandland an SUV anyway, more like an inflated car.
1
@jennyh4025 People are allowed to want any car they like, you don't get to choose for them or decide whether they "need" them or not. I earn more money than I "need", should I give it back? Most countries permit a certain number of "grey" imports. For example I can go into a Ford dealer and have a Ford car not sold in Europe imported. It might cost more, I might have to pay import duty, I might have to make some modifications to make it "road legal" but without doubt 99.9% of the time I WILL be able to do so. I'm absolutely certain we will see some Cybertrucks imported, after all we see tons of US cars here that aren't sold in dealerships. Tesla might decide NOT to sell them in dealerships bit routes will exist where people can get their hands on them in limited numbers, and the limit is more dictated by the number of people able to afford, and who can be bothered with the trouble.
1
@littleDutchie92 Not at all. Many SUVs actually get a better elevated view, not to mention most have collision avoidance and automatic braking.
1
@sinisatrlin840 Why are you importing so many cars anyway? Why don't you just find ones that are already in the EU?
1
@hendrikvanleeuwen9110 Please show me where the legislation is that a car has to pass crash tests, I've already shown to another guy that NCAP is a voluntary scheme. It isn't mandatory for a car to pass. Countries permit a number of grey imports, this is to protect a countries car industry, but many European countries don't have a car industry to protect and many actively hate cars like Switzerland and Denmark.
1
@TheTygertiger Who are you to decide how fast someone is driving? What is "proper speed"? If you have a problem, find a place to safely overtake. It's unnecessarily slow driving that annoys me, not what they're driving. I'd much rather be behind a safely driven car than have some chav in a shitty Corsa or Fiesta right up my arse trying to get past in an unsafe manner.
1
@TheTygertiger People aren't required to drive at the speed limit, it's the limit, not a minimum level. I get it pisses you off, but you should be less uptight and just take your time. They have as much right to be there as you do. As I already said, I'd rather have someone doing 50mph on a B road with a limit of 60 than some little wanker driving at 65 in his shitty little Polo, Fiesta, Corsa etc with a stupid exhaust who's probably going to end upside down in a field.
1
 @Coolcarting Yes, we do care about insurance costs. They can be bloody expensive
1
@scrambler69-xk3kv The point is it's safer if you've learned by virtue of passing a test to show you're capable of driving one.
1
America, like every country now has tons of great breweries, its just the mainstream stuff that is vile, but you could also say that for other countries. Scotlandbhas the repulsive Tennents, England has Carling, Australia Fosters, France 1664, Denmark Carlsberg, Norway Tau, Germany Becks etc. None are as bad as Miller or Bid but you get the picture. Not all American beer is bad and not all European beer is good.
1
@IWrocker You are right. I have actually heard Americans claim brands like Mercedes and Adidas as American companies. The level of ignorance is stunning so well done on being one of the few who looks beyond your borders.
1
@iHelpSolveIt Why not? Names stick.
1
@marydavis5234 That isn't why it's called the World Series.
1
@marydavis5234 Go and look up the origins of why it's called that. That sounds like an excuse for the criticisms they got for perceived insular arrogance. PS, name a British baseball player.
1
@marydavis5234 He's Australian, just born in England and doesn't even play anymore. International players are NOT why it's called the World Series. Don't make me laugh.
1
@Hiforest We don't have to report incidences either. If two people have an incident they can just sort it out between themselves. Police and authorities don't have to be told.
1
@Hiforest Then you've been misinformed.
1
@Hiforest Hopefully you never will. Police are useless so I'd never rely on them for anything.

@GarryMatthews-v4r only for cars in their 4th year and older

American food is low quality crap, and they have the nerve to turn their noses up at British food.

They're Americans, laziness is inherent.
1
The reason diesel didnt take off in America is simple, fuel is almost free so there's no need to be economical.
1
@stewrmo I'm surprised you didn't know that. I thought it was common knowledge that Russia is almost twice as big as the next biggest country.

All comes from American insularity and a shit education system

@robhills2613 It isn't predicted to be 43c
1
@diongibbs312 Spain is always 32c and more in summer, what's the big deal?
1
@andregon4366 Far, far, far more people die of the cold.
1
@robhills2613 Who cares if it is reached, it's one fucking day. Wednesday is supposed to be sub 25c again
1
@dankrafted Actually, the met office have had an explosion in the number of measuring stations, 100 years ago they had about a dozen around the UK, now there are about 20,000. If your data only goes back 20, 30, 40 years or whatever it stands to reason that SOMEWHERE is going to see record temps at some time every year I was on Cambridge when it reached 39c, it wasn't a big deal.
1
@dankrafted It's not my opinion, it's simply not a big deal. It never lasts longer than A day or two and then it breaks because we have a maritime climate. If you can't cope with the heatt for two or three days, then you're just an idiot, especially after all that lockdown inconvenience, you should all be experts on hiding from things.
1
@andregon4366 Spain's population is 47million. 350 dead people is 0.0007%. Many times that number die every single day naturally. If you die of the heat, you've either been very stupid, or were scheduled to die soon anyway.
1
@LostinWales Not by the official measurement.
1
@LostinWales You do realise that what you are recordong in your garden isn't how meteorological people measure it. All weather forecast temperatures are IN THE SHADE. It wasn't +40c in the shade in your garden There will be several times in any year where your can measure +40c in your garden in sunshine, reflected off concrete, bricks etc. We experience 30-40c on sunshine all the time, but that's not how it's measured for forecasts
1
@grabtharshammer I'm saying that IN THE SUN, it's plus 40c frequently
1
@robhills2613 10,000 heat related deaths? Fucking bullshit. Where is the evidence for this?
1
@andregon4366 They do not go back to 1530 UK wide and with consistent and accurate measuring techniques. How the fick did they measure temperature in 1530, rudimentary thermometers weren't even invented until 1620
1
@robhills2613 There's around 20,000 which means that there will be somewhere breaking a record all the time. .One hundred years ago there was probably only about 50
1
@andregon4366 How the fick can they have "records" going back that far when they had no way of measuring it? Did you not think of that? When do you think thermometers became even remotely accurate? Something created in the 17th century probably only had an accuracy of about +/- 8c and you think this is a reliable way of recording data?😄 And if thermometers weren't even invented until 90 years after you claim these records began how is it possible to measure? There weren't even temperature scales until the 18th century so your records are clearly bullshit
1
@andregon4366 No, there are CLIMATE records going back thousands of years, bit it doesn't tell you what the precise temperature was For example dendrochronology, ice core sampling, pollen in soil etc can tell you what the climate was LIKE, but it doesn't tell you with any degree of accurate WHAT THE TEMP WAS. You keep going on about my opinion, it isn't my opinion that there was no records in the 16th century, no thermometers and no actual temperature scales, those are facts. It will be normal temps tomorrow anyway, so the media should just stop this preposterous hysteria about a same day which isn't a problem for 99.999%
1
@ohauss You've literally just confirmed what I said. I'm referring to people talking about Europe being hot for a couple of days as if it's some end of the world temperature scenario when dozens of countries are scorching for months. Try reading before exposing yourself as an ignoramus.

That's just total nonsense, plus an automatic also can be used manually anyway on most models.

America has some of the lowest quality food on the planet. I blame the USA's obsession with "bang for the buck" which is why virtually eveything they make is of low quality, with poor quality materials and to a low standard. You see this in cars, housing, domestic appliances, food, clothing etc. Seems to be a country which doesn't realise how far behind the developed world it really is.
1
@elfenpuppegamergirl258 The name Kinder doesn't help identify it as Italian.
1
I have triple glazing here in Norway, my house barely needs heating. I just dont think America gets quality as they arent prepared to pay for quality as they're obsessed with "bang for the buck" hence everything is cheap and nasty. US kitchen appliances in particular are terrible quality. Can amyone actually name a truly quality, US made and IS designed consumer product? I cant.
1
The American flag is ugly.
1
They also look shit and cheap.
1
@TerenceDixon-l6b Why would you baptise anyone into something you don't believe in? Did she do something similar for Islam or Catholicism? She doesn't believe in them either. Slavery is historical, but we don't practice that anymore "just for tradition" Thankfully I was never baptised into some weird, immoral, backwards religion.

I've never liked American made and designed cars, always done incredibly cheaply and with awful materials. Three of the cars I've hired in the USA actually rippled on the bonnet when you drove them quickly. That's how thin the metal is.
1
Fahrenheit is such a stupid measure
1
Formula 1 is so boring. It is more of an engineering competition than it is a sport. It's also a two horse race. Complete waste of time as it boils down to just two drivers very quickly.
1
All countries in Europe the number belongs to the car, certainly in UK, Ire, Nor, Den, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal etc. Some countries allow private played, bit it still has an original number connected to it. Certain countries, like Norway also allow alias plates.
1
@denzzlinga Why would you want a custom plate?
1
@highks496 In UK you also have restrictions, but whilst it might cost a small price to change over a plate in terms of registering it, there is a vast difference in price, for example you might be able to buy something random and fairly meaningless for a few hundred pounds, but something like A1 or the like could set you back hundreds of thousands. For example 007 went for about £250,000
1
@hayleypbop If you say so, bit American food is widely regarded as the worst in the developed world. I'd rather eat food from any other country in the west than US. Awful quality, poorly made.
1
@hayleypbop America is not known for it's food. Italy is
1
@hayleypbop Of course it has Michelin star restaurants, bit that isn't representative of American "cuisine" it's representative of the chef who works there.
1
@hayleypbop How many Michelin star restaurants are actually restaurants which serve "American food"? Guaranteed most are serving Italian, Thai. French, Japanese food etc. America is about as well known for quality food as Germany is.
1
@hayleypbop No i do not.
1
@hayleypbop What are you on about? Peanut butter for example is from the USA, as is Cornbread and chocolate chip cookies. It is hilariously naive to think no food comes from USA.
1
@hayleypbop No i don't. Pizza is Italian. Everyone knows that. There may be American modifications, but I don't live in that backwards country with the worst food in the western world.
1
@hayleypbop Whether it's native American or not is irrelevant. It originated in what you call America. Are you seriously trying to tell me there is no food or recipes that originated in America? They may not be good food or recipes, but that is an idiotic claim
1
USA has a ton of terrible laws. Their employment laws are archaic
1
Everyone doesn't get paid well in Europe and lessons are not mandatory everywhere.
1
Shell is called Royal Dutch Shell. How could anyone think it was US?
1
No wonder the USA has some of the worst driving statistics in the western world.
1
@AT-nq6cu Such as what? What are you asking? There's been plenty comments in here from me.
1
@stevenlavoie8897 Ha ha ha ha ha. What would you like to say that I can't? Guarantee there is nothing.

Tanks always laugh at British food, but it is much better than US food. American food is fucking awful

There isn't a single saloon car ( or sedan if you're a yank) that doesn't look better as an estate (or wagon)

Shaken you mean.

Chinese tourists in the UK are easy to spot due to their rudeness. They have zero spatial awareness, move for no one and get in your way constantly.

@wolfaja755 Nuclear Bomb was an ALLIED invention, it wasn't American. US only joined WW1 in 1917 and WW2 in December 1941. On both occasions you were late and your contribution was welcome, but not pivotal. WW2 was won primarily by Russia switching sides.

Baseball World is because it used to be sponsored by a newspaper called The World

Every country makes wishy washy beer, America however seems yo make more.

It's because they are ignorant and insular.

Becks is the equivalent of Miller, so dont place too much emphasis on it.

Actually nothing wrong with eating horse, just labelled it wrongly.
1
In Europe these days, it's really only the budget cars that still have manual, but if you don't pass a test in a manual you aren't allowed to drive a manual, so basically everyone in Europe can drive a manual even though they probably don't own one anymore. My last 6 cars have been automatic, but I can still easily go back to driving manual if I have a hire car for example.
1
@samsta65 It's like 1970's office coffee. Horrid.

Why would anyone make indicators the same colours as brakes? Sheer idiocy.

@johannesheinsohn6956 It's nothing to do with sinking water levels, and it's drought, not draught.
1
@johannesheinsohn6956 It also isn't a global collapse of anything. The world has seen much hotter and much more dangerous weather.
1
@johannesheinsohn6956 4
1
@johannesheinsohn6956 Yes there was. We used to be able to grow grapes in Northumberland and grow Wheat in Greenland. We can't anymore. Humans are not going to go extinct via climate change, for example climate change for most people is nothing more than an inconvenience. How exactly are nearly 8 billion people going to become extinct? Climate change simply isn't serious enough. The human race is not at risk of extinction at all. I'm presuming you are from Sweden or perhaps Denmark judging by your name, what climate event is going to kill all the people in Northern Europe for example? Oh no it's a degree or two hotter. Big bloody deal.
1
@johannesheinsohn6956 Eh? You've made claims about human extinction without explaining how that could ever happen. It is absurdly stupid to think that the population will even be slightly affected as climate change is killing virtually nobody. You also claimed half the continent is on fire, that's bullshit and a complete lie.
1
@johannesheinsohn6956 You have been buying into far too much of the laughable unscientific claims of doomsday cults like Extinction Rebellion. We are not and never will be short of water

Superb is a truly terrible car name.
1
No, it's just a trend.
1
The constitution? The constitution which has just been changed to make it illegal to have an abortion if the state want to ban it? The right to pointlessly bear arms?
1
@jenniferanderson3694 The constitution has JUST BEEN CHANGED to reflect that individual states can force a woman to remain pregnant .

You don't need to see an American to know one, you hear one well before you see them.

Walmart is very low rent. They used to own Asda, a very poor chain of supermarkets in the UK frequented by the less well off.

Pretty sure that won't be single glazed. Easy way is to hold a lighter up and see how many reflections are there.

All countries sell food for profit. Capitalism is not the root of all US problems. What a ridiculous statement.
1
How could anyone think English comes from America
1
American plates really make a car look shit as they look cheap and nasty, lile most American things. Why cant America do fonts better? Looks like the 1970's. Its not just their number playes its everything they put a logo on.
1
American food is trash. No one makes you eat so much so if you see you're putting on weights eat less. Not difficult.
1
Americans seem to have a real reliability problem with cars. I get the petrol is lower quality in US, but that cant explain it all.
1
You should compare the average American person size to the average European.
1
No such thing as "very unique"
1
 @valsyaranamual6853 what language does Biden speak?
1
It isn't really significantly more expensive. For a start there's no spark plugs, and glow plugs last much longer.
1
Those beers are a bit generic and common. The mass produced stuff which whilst perfectly drinkable is a bit route one.
1
That's total nonsense. Pretty much only cheap cars are manual, so if anything you'll get laughed at for having a cheap manual car.
1
 @papalaz4444244 I'm a Scot living in Norway, vast majority of cars are automatic. Tyres are the most important thing, not gearbox.
1
@ldorman What do all the chavs in Corsa and Fiesta have? Probably still manual I imagine.
1
@allanm6246 People only really laugh at little scrotes driving Corsa and Fiesta
1
@ldorman Did you conduct a survey?
1
@ldorman I agree most new cars are auto these days, especially those above a certain price but I find it odd behaviour that you may be in the habit of gawking inside the cars in a car park.
1
@dunc71 What sort of person does that? Would love to know what you drive, probably a Vauxhall Corsa with a big exhaust.

@galadballcrusher8182 Begun? You mean began. Doesn't say much for your education.

The worst tourists are the Chinese. Rude, entitled and have absolutely no spatial awareness at all.

For many years the cars made under the name of "Buick" were simply rebadged Opel. Same with many Ford in America coming from the European arms of the company. I'm not sure where Buick are getting their designs now that Opel is not part of GM.

We are better drivers.

You can't turn the climate back. Just learn to deal with it. How do you think they managed in the 16th, 17th and 18th century with zero technology?

@HBBatista That isn't a fact at all. How can the Sahara spread to another continent? What a stupid comment

Surprised at that given Henry Ford was an anti Semite Nazi supporter.

Ford had some very dubious connections to Nazi Germany.

@joseppedaia3673 I was JOKING. Don't have a go at reading comprehension when your grammar isn't up to scratch.
1
@joseppedaia3673 I was joking, and your English isn't exactly great so wind your neck in.
1
@joseppedaia3673 First of all I am not an American and for your information English as a language doesn't come from America. Secondly, if you are going to try and ridicule me with a perceived lack of comprehension, have the good grace to take it on the chin when your post contains glaring errors and is therefore subject to similar ridicule. You were trying to be clever, but it backfired on you. The fact I put a laughing emoji is proof I was joking.
1
@joseppedaia3673 You can try to be clever if you want, but do you really think I only speak one language? The jokes on you, you tried to be smarmy, but you made an error which made your condescending comment backfire upon you.
1
Because they don't look like an American
1
Automatics really aren't prohibitively expensive.
1
@GdzieJestNemo More common than ever.
1
Isn't American culture an oxymoron?
1
It's hilarious Yanks think their versions of everything are the best. I can't think of anything America does better than anyone else.
1
@IWrocker The title of the video asks that very question. Half your content addresses the pervasive attitude of Americans that they are the best, or believe they have the best of everything. I'm glad you don't believe it is true and realise America is largely a joke, but many of your population DO believe this myth of America being number one judging by the videos you review and from my own experience .
1
@jonhroarulstad5775 Americans have stupid names like Skip Bornhooter or Dick Encrovic. They also have a stupid habit of naming the son after the mother's maiden name, so you get ridiculous names like Webb and Wyndham as forenames.
1
@lws7394 Anheuser and Busch were Germans.
1
@bencze465 Yes, it's a large country, but just as it's not an excuse to not holiday outside of your country, it's not an excuse to abandon all knowledge. Canada is bigger than USA, Australia isn't far off the US size, but they aren't as insular and ignorant as Americans are. As a non American I have been asked some truly preposterous questions by Americans that no other nation would be stupid enough to ask, and it is because of their insular media and woeful inside US Borders and US orientated education.
1
@bananenmusli2769 Then you're arrogant as well as ignorant aren't you? Assumption is the mother of all mistakes.
1
@5xt Shell has been Anglo-Dutch decades in afraid. You should do your research. Shell started in Britain and 30 years down the line MERGED with a Dutch company.
1
@cango5679 What you on about?
1
Americans dont want to pay for quality, eveything is about lowest price.
1
Americans really shouldn't be surprised how much better some of the rest of the world is. I was really underwhelmed when I drove the Pacific Highway. There are far better drives out there in the world.
1
@IWrocker I'm talking about how sugar, salt and MSG pervades so much American produce. You have such a high level of processed food, such high numbers of fast food outlets etc and the proof of your awful diet is manifested in your obesity rates. Of course it's not everywhere, and not everyone but if you compare the diets of your average American to a Greek, Italian, French or Danish person you are going to see a lot of junk and unhealthy food in there.
1
European design is simply better. I can't think of one American product which looks better or is more functional than European options.

Temperature doesn't cause the fire. The fores are started by humans by way of sparks, cigarettes, discarded glass etc. 50c can't make material combust

@davidc.w.2908 Ha ha ha. Tech ology moved on. I don't want to still have a cathode ray tube from 2000 when there's better smart TVs which do better things, I don't want a car from 1985 when technology had made better, more reliable and better looking cars which offer greater comfort and efficiency. It's called PROGRESS.
1
@101steel4 American clothes and hair styles are obsolete too. 😀
1
@davidc.w.2908 I'm not talking about things that deliberately have a short life, I'm talking about things which are made "obsolete" by advances in technology. I could get a 2005 mobile from a drawer at home, would it work? Yes, it would, would I want to use something so rudimentary? No, of course I wouldn't. Goes for virtually every electrical piece of equipment that we all own. Things like coffee grinders etc are things that aren't made obsolete, their function doesn't change. You clearly don't remember all the recalls from the dreadful quality rust bucket cars from the 1980's. Things are also recalled because we have HIGHER safety requirements than we used to and consumer laws help protect the consumer. Having a recall is a GOOD THING.
1
@davidc.w.2908 What do you mean "you read more and more that SUVs and pick ups are sold there." SUV and Pickups are not exempt from having to reach a safety threshold. We have a higher standard of driving test than US and we have lower levels of blood alcohol permitted and drink driving is seriously taboo. No, a recall doesn't mean that a problem wasn't caught before product release, problems can occur over time, such as Toyota recently recalled a model for a brake issue which develops over time. We get the same happening in loads of products, and given how much more sophisticated cars and other products are these days, it isn't surprising. We even get food and toys recalled now. It's basic safety and good for us all. Yes, it would be great if products could be guaranteed not to develop faults, but despite all efforts to mitigate against it, you can't foresee certain problems. Would you rather Boeing or Airbus didn't recall their products in light of information that something MIGHT happen?
1
@davidc.w.2908 You're just using selective memory. I remember cars being recalled in the 1980's and cars were shocking quality back then and considerable LESS safe. As I previously stated, the majority of cars, SUVs @!$ pick ups for sale in Europe already meet the top level of safety assessment. They have FAR more safety features than older cars. For example I think I'm correct to say that the Volvo XC90 might not have more than a single fatality for occupants in road collisions. Even American cars, like the Tesla rank very highly for collision avoidance and safety in crashes. It's not even in question that today's cars are MUCH safer than those of previous decades. It's very true that many US cars are not sold in Europe, but it's largely a style thing, as American designed cars bar a few examples don't sell well around the world anyway. For balance there's tons of European cars that aren't sold in US either. You're using hindsight incorrectly. You can't know everything. You have to go with the evidence which is available at the time and the data received from testing.
1
@camillosteuss Plenty cars will be here in 50 years, but who wants 50 year old cars?
1
@camillosteuss Then today's cars that will be around in 50 years are by default quality items. There will be loads of current cars which will become classics and still be around in 50 years, none of them will probably be American though.

@fireblow44 Like what ? What old, mass produced car that isn't something like a classic Jag or Merc looks better?
1
@arranchace1306 Because it's old and pretty dull, but I get your sentiment.
1
@adrianbriggs2763 You answered your own question. America doesn't have to pay much for fuel. Besides, being an SUV doesn't necessarily make it inefficient. I had a Volvo V60, did 40mpg, got a Volvo XC60, did 39mpg.
1
@adrianbriggs2763 Hardly, those are somewhat optimistic ranges for a car with a 66l tank. Averaging 5.5litre per 100km might be doable on a motorway run, but combined I doubt you'd get that, also diesels are out of favour sadly. Audi actually claim 1400 out of a tank for the Q5.
1
@maxii2975 Your point?
1
@maxii2975 A Freelander has a bigger boot than a Golf with and without seats down.

@sophietarafiona What are you transporting 2x1m? That's pretty limiting.
1
@adrianbriggs2763 Yes they can, Audi themselves claim their Q5 does that
1
@wisecountryman49 Would say that it wouldn't be true that 90% have an estate. What is true that those who have two cars are likely to have One large car and one smaller car, it's not true that most people have an estate. It is likely to be an Estate, Saloon, SUV or MPV as the larger car.

@peterbockholm3176 It's one of those incredibly annoying sayings that people use these days like "my bad", "So......", "literally", "like", "tell me you're a xxxx without telling me you're a xxxx", "hold my beer", "be like" , "am i a joke to you" etc etc etc. Its toe curling.
