Comments by "Roger Smith" (@rogersmith8339) on "Geoff Buys Cars" channel.

Most American food is pretty tasteless rubbish from my experience and some of the practices they use are very questionable to the point that the UK will not allow import of the meats.
39
So many events of all types are getting cancelled very often due to the cost of insurance for them, but also due to greedy people thinking they can make more money from them.
25
Older cars don't need road tax or MOTs and you can actually service them and mend them yourselves.

To a Brit, stuffing meat in your car has a whole different meaning!
9
Typical socialist country?

Home schooling is fine if the parents are capable of doing a good job. Sadly, looking round, how many parents are even vaguely capable of educating children? They can't even bring them up to school age properly. The other thing is where they are being brought up by extremists of any type or where they fall off the system and into serious abuse and neglect.
7
Commercially caught fish are left to die of suffocation so being a pescatarian is not good,.
6
An awful lot of those limos are very dubious due to the way they are constructed. And anyway, they are a stupid American idea along with the proms themselves.
5
"Old car" to the entitled generations means anything over 4 or 5 years whereas to grown ups it means one with a carburetor and no electronics and maybe nearly as old as the owner.
5
My "sausage" might be as big as one but it isn't green, lol.
3
The Americans have what they call unexpected acceleration events in all sorts of cars. What it usually means is that they cannot drive properly in the first place.
3
@GhostOfKiev2023 The settlers in America, ie asylum seekers and economic migrants were about the worst for genocide.
3
@whycantwegetalong4465 All "isms" are prone to failure, despite how honourable and worthy their initial intention is due to the same thing, good old human nature and greed.

@orionbetelgeuse1937 My step son wasted away when he was forced to go vegan by his hippy yippy Asian wife. He looked really unwell. She then realised that they (baby as well) were needing so many supplements to stay healthy and that those supplements were often produced by some dodgy companies from equally dodgy stuff and it was costing a fortune.
3
I wonder who the Freemasons were in all this.
2
My stepson had his oldish van broken into a few years back and to disable the alarm they trashed the electrics. He got it sorted (so he thought) enough to start and drive to his next job, but blasting down the outside lane of a very busy motorway it decided to do an emergency stop - it seems that the ABS system had been messed up. He made the morning local news due to the chaos it caused but very luckily no one got hurt.
2
These days? It has been referred to as London by the sea for years and that says it all!
2
You have to remember that people don't like to be told what to do anymore, even if it is for your own good.
2
@stevensarson482 The problem is, if anyone told the kids to be careful these days the parents would be up in arms claiming "they" are trying to brainwash the kids or saying it was some kind of discrimination. The entitled generations have brought most of the problems that we grown ups have to suffer on themselves. From the traffic nightmare caused by the school run (how can you expect little 13 yo Chelsea to walk 1/2 a mile to school when we have mortgaged ourselves to the hilt to but a new SUV?) to the need for stricter speed limits.
2
@BraveNewUs Do you really think most drivers are that pathetic that they get stressed over something like that? If they do, then the human race is doomed.
2
@scaryfakevirus Touchy! As I indicated elsewhere today's generations would see sensible instruction on road safety (or any other type of safety for that matter) as an intrusion on their "rights". Tell a driver not to use his mobile while driving and you are likely to get a mouthful of abuse. Suggest that a BMW driver uses his indicators and you would probably end up in court for a hate crime.
2
Yes, France is a pretty good place, two holidays over there planned on the boat this year.
2
This all sounds like a marketing ploy for a company restoring pre-electronic era cars! Give me back my Morris Minor!
2
You do all realise that you already pay to use roads , both to the government in tax and the big petroleum companies when you buy fuel. If we all changed to using more economic cars where appropriate things would soon change.
2
Why buy a modern car then with all the issues that go with them?
2
@G58 Those were the last real SAABs and go on just about for ever.
2
@dungareesareforfools I guess I never do journeys long enough to get through a decent CD with only me in the car. That or I hook my phone up to the car system and it plays tracks from the phone memory (that is a lot of music! ). Did you ever drive in the days of the cassette or 8 track?
2
@danisaac Too many people have or nearly have accidents because they don't bother to clear their screens already.
2
Most modern cars have air con so you just set the temperature you like and forget about it. Mind you, I will try to avoid a car with a touch screen as long as I can.
2
@MeTube3 The issue with electronics in cars versus older systems is that the electronics work or fail completely and can only be fixed by changing parts. Older systems fail progressively and if properly maintained will never let you down completely without warning.
2
@sambrooks7862 Yes, it is used in various place names in the UK and I suspect it is from the old English or similar.
2
@jamescastle5096 I regularly hunt for meat in the UK in the form of deer management as it tends to be called these days although weather, and sailing plus a couple of other things have interfered with that recently.
2
@gregjenkins2925 Hahaha. If it was a Range Rover I bet it has never even driven over grass!
2
@B.a.S.t.A.r.D. I had a Mk2 in bright green. It was the biggest pile of rubbish I ever owned and only my second Ford. First was a 2 year old Cortina that got through 2 cans and a clutch in the few years I owned it (amongst other trouble) and it rotted out in around 5 years. All the Citroens I have owned since have been super reliable and cheap to run with readily available service parts.
2
@B.a.S.t.A.r.D. I am on my 2nd C1 and it is about the most fun car I have ever owned. Ever seen the endurance racing they do in them?
2
@robertjames4908 Great for removing ear wax and poking in peoples faces when attacked.
2
@laserflexr6321 Sounds like you are trying to use common sense and rational arguments against someone who has neither common sense or is rational.
2
@GhostOfKiev2023 Yep, that sums up the genocide committed by the former Europeans who became the new Americans. I would quite like to know what things were like for the "natives" prior to independence.
2
@barrydevonshire9749 How do you avoid excessively processed foods when you are vegan? The soya products and fake "dairy" products are particular examples.
2
@barrydevonshire9749 Two big issues, firstly there are too many people on this planet. Second issue is the vast amount of land that is unsuitable for arable farming for one reason or another but can sustain grazing which converts inedible vegetation into good healthy protein with little processing.
2
@GhostOfKiev2023 You summed up the way that the genocide was carried out subtly very well there, few realise it was very deliberate.
2
Saint Awful, as a friend called it.
2
They didn't contact me on my tablet or my phone so I am seriously disappointed.
1
 @abarratt8869 All three of my mobile devices were a serious disappointment as I got nothing.
1
@anthonynewman4039 Are MG anything to do with Rover these days?
1
 @davemonday5381 It would be very hard for you to use that on yourself when things get too awkward for you to handle though.
1
Would you support the animal rights nutters who think that eating meat is immoral and commit all sorts of crimes and issue vile threats against normal people- just saying.
1
@johnchin1456 I presume you mean for the little scum bag junkie and his money grabbing mum who are the actual criminals in the case, unless of course you are a Sun reader (spot the irony there) in which case things must be getting so bad for you that the rope is for yourself.
1
@steventhoseby Climb inside with some of your INCEL mates and make the world a nicer place.
1
If you are that upset by something that doesn't affect you, I would suggest you seek counselling rather than hang yourself.
1
@tipple58 Rhymes with blunt?
1
What is this SOF movie you are on about? Is it exciting and full of special effects and witty one liners? Is it a true ripping yarn, totally unbelievable but pure entertainment?
1
@MikeMichaels1987 The problem with this film is that it will bring out every little scum bag and baggess who thinks they can screw money out of some rich guy without any true evidence and after many years of benefitting from them. Just look how long it took the hooker to try and get money from the prince after having been happy to take the money for years, obviously knowing what she was doing was dodgy.
1
@MikeMichaels1987 It will just motivate the scum (aka solicitors and lawyers) to try and make some money while trying to pretend to help idiots who knew exactly what they were doing a few years back but were blinded by the money. All those hookers creeping out of dark corners claiming they were tricked into accepting huge sums of money. They rate alongside the bunny huggers and JSO lot in most decent people's opinion.
1
@MikeMichaels1987 You have an extremely sad life then!
1
@roberthiggins6401 I doubt anyone tried to bury it as the movie industry only wants to make money. By making it seem special, they have achieved their goals.
1
@MikeMichaels1987 That is a very strange collection of words that looks like AI got it wrong. I am guessing that you are not AI though, certainly not artificial or intelligent.
1
@MikeMichaels1987 Arsey fisting more like
1
The world has ended at 3:00 PM on the 23rd April. Or not, as it happened. Sounds like the government software system was the usual disaster.
1
It was obviously caused by global warming?
1
@scaryfakevirus So you think the green cross code and the cycling proficiency test were all for "their own good". I would leave off the herbs if they have made you that paranoid!
1
@JunkyardDog-q1h Another stupid Americanism we could do without!
1
@scaryfakevirus Out of interest, how did you come up with your name? I know a number of people who were very ill with what could only have been "the" virus before it was ever acknowledged to be such or before vaccines were available. The affects were very scary and certainly not fake.
1
When I used to drive my old Morris Minor (1967) I used to get around 40 maybe even 50 to the gallon. It was actually less problem than my 3 year old Cortina I had a little later.
1
Hitler came to power because a certain group crashed the German economy, maybe that is the plan? Try once again to rid the world of those people who cause so many problems.
1
@apocalypticweasel9078 We have a lot of 20 limits where I live but on many it is wishful thinking to get close to that with any degree of safety.
1
@JudgingKitty I don't like any creature to suffer unnecessarily and try my hardest for a clean kill with birds or animals for food and despatch fish as swiftly as I can.
1
So some little scum bag makes loads of money from a rich older guy for a number of years and the money starts to dry up. Old guy has not actually broken any laws btw. Scum bag thinks this is a chance to make much more money from selling story to scum bag red top run by member of the elite, who hates the BBC and wants to take them over. Typical of these cases where suddenly several years down the line when proof is dubious up jump the solicitors out to make a fortune.
1
Smart motorways are the perfect example of double speak, much like war is peace and slavery is freedom.
1
It is so easy to wash the blood off them after you have beaten someone's head in for driving like a taxi driver.
1
How on earth can driving at 20 be more stressful than at a faster speed? Round my city 20 is a pretty good speed to be able to achieve a lot of the time. The place was designed before cars were commonly owned.
1
@tombartram7384 Isn't that exactly the same as a 30 limit or a 70 limit? I have fallen foul of a 30 limit myself twice, I have to admit through lack of concentration and following other traffic. On one occasion it was in Dorset where they hadn't signed up to speed camera warnings and had speed limits that changed regularly. My fault for not paying attention to signs.
1
@tombartram7384 It sounds like there are a lot of modern cars where the flexibility of the engine really isn't that good. They must be a nightmare to drive in heavy traffic where you go from stop to 25 (if you are lucky!) and back continuously. Luckily my little city car and my big 4x4 seem to not be that bad in this situation.
1
@tombartram7384 One of our old family cars was famously capable of accelerating from 10 to 70 smoothly in top gear (it was a recommended test to check timing etc in the manual). The other part of the test was 30 in 1st before power loss.
1
@dungareesareforfools Aren't you supposed to make all the adjustments and settings before you move off, or is that a bit old fashioned?
1
@Joeb4iley Do you have to tell it to turn the indicators on and to stop the correct side of the line at traffic lights as well?
1
No road tax either!
1
@MeTube3 I have never had a car with any warranty!
1
Road charging already exists in the form of tax on fuel. When you think how many modern cars are zero road tax, the money has to come from somewhere.
1
@markriding1267 Now there is a truly shocking thing. Just as bad as the famous Marconi suicides and the very suspicious one of a former friend.
1
The large number of buzzards about is contributing to the decline in the rabbit population in many areas. This is removing a very healthy and normally sustainable source of the meat from the menus of many people in rural areas.
1
@D-Bunker-zv1bjNot round where I live, the same as buzzards and also peregrine falcons.
1
Everywhere is too busy because there are way too many people about who think they are entitled to just drive round for no reason, despite there apparently being a financial crisis.
1
@strongandco You can tell by the people driving them and where they are heading round where I live plus the times of day they are being driven. As for the birds of prey bit, I confess that I was in ranting mode.
1
Caught actually doing what and have you seen any reliable evidence of law breaking?
1
@tikkiu7345If you want to talk morals, surely the younger person is the immoral one, taking loads of money over a number of years and suddenly complaining so that he can make even more money?
1
@thesheepman220 No, you only have to have a smart phone or tablet to watch porn these days! Despite what the law says.
1
@organichuman But from what I currently understand the lad is now 21 or something so it seems odd that his mum has this evidence? Could it be her that is now seeing the £ signs?
1
@organichuman Was it actually evidence of law breaking?
1
@astroterf. The younger person as you put it, was over the age that many people think should be able to vote and knowingly broke the rules of the website they were on to sell inappropriate photos to someone who they had no idea of who they were to fund an illegal drug habit. I think that is a bit different from your suggestion.
1
When diesel burns it makes an excellent additive to a petrol bomb to make the burning liquid stick to and run along the target. This would make sense in this a possible cause of the multi level fire. BTW, catalytic convertors can cause fires if they are hot and you park on stubble / dry grass.
1
You just described my first 3 or more cars!
1
@childoftruth1738 Any newish car is an expensive toy and even some older ones aren't cheap to run. As for the 15 minute circle (I assume you mean city, although what that is taken to mean these days is totally different from the original intention of the concept) - even the most basic of EVs has a range greater than 15 minutes each way.
1
@christownsend7602 My latest 4x4, a 20 year old Jeep, has power adjusted seats. No idea what you can do if (when) they fail. It also has lots of other electrical gubins that it doesn't really need.
1
@christownsend7602 The C1 corners like a gokart. I have only ever had it lift a wheel once round a corner and that was going way too fast for a very tight turn.
1
@iainmacleod4007 In some ways I think the same applies to some of the EV fires. Are people not charging them correctly in some way or doing something else wrong?
1
@iainmacleod4007 It is the fast charging that concerns me. Even ordinary lead acid batteries get hot if you try to charge them too quickly and it does them no good.
1
On an electric motor the unit you refer to is not strictly an ECU as that refers to an Engine Control Unit .
1
A classic case of distrusting anyone on the internet regardless of what "side" they are on. There are total idiots on every side of every argument.
1
Wasn't that guy in the 30s supposed to be vegetarian?😊
1
@Shadrach666 So I have heard said. Could that be part of what made him go mad towards the end?
1
@christinarichie6171 A great many "isms" start with good intentions and in fact, deep down many are a lot more similar than you would believe in terms of those intentions. Then human nature kicks in and completely scuppers any chance of a good outcome. Just look at Animal Farm as a clear illustration.
1
@ArtisChronicles I can confirm squirrels taste great and venison is wonderfully healthy.
1
@Someone-kg8qf Why didn't you use America as an example of where genocide has been carried out against the native population for hundreds of years.
1
@NewWorldHoarder There are those who would pay for that - lol.
1
@orionbetelgeuse1937 Anyone noticed the similarities between Merkel, Truss and the mad jock Woman?
1
@OffGridInvestor I know of people who have used cucumbers as "meat" substitutes - lol.
1
@PrivateSi That would make us all much more equal rather than far more unequal if it were true, uncorrupted communism.
1
@barrydevonshire9749 What makes the grazing of animals on land where you could not reasonably grow crops without a huge amount of fertilizer inefficient? Properly managed grazing is very good for the land and can transform very poor land into quite productive land.
1
@donna4815 Nothing wrong with that at all! Way too many people on the planet and way too many living in poverty as a result.
1
@PrivateSi The problem with communism like all "isms" is that it all started out with good intentions and initially stopped the situation that existed previously in Russia. In many ways it was pretty much like National Socialism in that respect. Then people find they can use it to line their own pockets and it all goes pear shaped.
1
@barrydevonshire9749 The mere fact that tofu does not look like beans means that it is quite processed. It doesn't even have the texture of beans.
1
@barrydevonshire9749 Meat does not require any processing and good meat needs very little cooking. Milk can be drunk straight from the animal if you want.
1
@Pomni3477 Would they be pork easy and maybe some pork runners?
1
Germans live on pork and have special toilet pans so that you can check for worms. As for liver, try some very fresh deer liver, takes things to the next level!
1
Could it be that the pot holes are being fixed?
