    Scrapme, I know first hand how these smash n grabbers affect all of us - one time I asked a guy if I could pick up his chairs and he said ok but, don't leave a mess some leave a mess. He said it in a way that I know he had had something happen before.

    Same over here , the one that gets me is the pickup truck with the man standing up on the back (Totaly against the law - no seat belt - no insurance).
    They are looking into backyards over fences and walls to see what they can steal (The local thing is you leave metal items in the back street and it saves the householder taking it to the local tip). Strangely they never seem to get pulled by the police (if it was me i would be pulled every 5 mins!!).

    British - Taglineless AGAIN

    Hope being pulled by the police dose not sound wrong in the good old USA

    I love guinness at room temperature...

    Aside from that, warm beer makes easier chugging.

    You can't justify warm beer, I will have to remind you of this next we meet.

    Warm beer NO In the olden british days 'Bitter' was served a little warmer than lagers But not anymore....We have alot of 'extra cold ' beers in pubs now .
    Warm/flat beer is more of a 'southern' English thing ....Up north we like it cooler sat in our flat caps and string vests...(See 'monty python' four yorkshire men on utube....British humour)
    British - likes to be cooler than his beer ........But fails thankfully
