So you just described how security works in several European countries including the UK, they made a lot of changes 2 or 3 years ago and it’s massively increased the efficiency of security.

High standards aren’t a bad thing, and it was a case that had the backing of the facts, again not a bad thing when bad or incorrect coverage can cost careers and sponsorship.

mom-and-pop places were often the ones that didn’t use them, it was the big chains where the margins on using cheaper oil made big differences that used it more than anything else. Small chains and individual shops often use better quality because they trade and quality more than cost and they can’t use the…

I’ve yet to find anyone that could tell the difference between modern good quality instant and drip, in fact I’ve had more than a few people comment on how good the coffee is. You just sound like someone with an opinion they have set and don’t want to change.

So is your notion that all instant is bad, I haven’t seen anywhere selling plain nescafe in years in the UK that wasn’t a church or a soup kitchen. Even then it’s improved substantially from the 80s and 90s when it was at its peak.

I don’t actually want one. I never said I did. I would have liked one in the past given I’ve been in situations where the Hilux and Transit didn’t cut the mustard. And for a commercial customer that advantage of the 150 is how it’s designed, it supports coach build far better than anything else, and Hilux is downright…

As a professional engineer I don’t have a problem with scale. I’m also taking the figures straight of the manufacturers websites for current generations.

I’m ignoring length because I’ve driven longer vehicles(and actually wider as well) than the f150 across half of continental Europe when on duty. The max width for a standard vehicle in the UK is 2.55m, there are odd places where that’s a bit of a pain, but the standard grocery delivery and garbage trucks all clock…

Either the F150 you have is way bigger, or the Hilux is way smaller in your view. Last two Hiluxs I drove one was standard at 184cm, and the other was modified so came in at 202cm. An F150 is what 203cm? That’s a difference of between one and twenty cm, or 8 inches. I’ve driven vehicles in Europe up to 205cm no…

Yes I’m actually European, driven a hilux which is near as makes no difference the same size on multiple occasions, along with various large commercial vehicles. It’s not that big a deal honestly.

A hilux is less than 20cm narrower, less depending on after market option. I’ve driven trucks in the UK at 205cm which is wider than an F150.

People buy Hilux and it’s the same size as near as makes no difference. There isn’t really a good option for offroad capable work vehicles, have you ever tried to put a transit up a dirt track? It’s not fun. A lot of users are still on Defenders, which they don’t make anymore and the new one looks totally unsuitable…

Funnily enough most pickup drivers in Europe don’t spend a huge amount of time driving them in cities!

I live in the UK, I’ve driven all sorts of pickups and long vehicles, it’s not too big. If I’m driving an SUV, pickup or something bigger I don’t take it to a multistorey, and width restrictions are indicated on the road and usually one way or on lights in the tighter villages so have plenty of space. An F-150 is the…

Ford don’t make it RHD, there is an importer in the UK that does it, costs nigh on $50,000 to get it done.

By my username you may guess that I am in fact European.

People buy big cars in Europe F-150s would likely sell well. It’s largely just reticence to meet EU standards and do left and right hand drive. The biggest issue though is just they don’t seem interested in importing the better engine technology that Europe insists on and finding ways to make vehicles more efficient.…

They were making as accurate a game as possible. It is fundamentally true that Moors were not common in Northern and Eastern Europe at that time in history. It would have been VERY unusual, hell it was unusual to find black people in those areas in most of the centuries since. I was born in the far North of Europe, I…

As long as it’s not preventing another athlete from competing then I don’t really see the issue. Adds a bit of character and over tightening the rules just reinforces elitism in sport, which is a particular issue in winter sports given the high cost involved for most of them.

People should also check out lazy boys range of office chairs, they are phenomenally comfortable and the soft leather gives it that premium feel. I have non office chairs that are far less comfortable than my lazy boy.
