A shopping door.

you should have arranged an hourly rate instead of a salary

Aye, but you have to give them an hour a year all the same. Why can't they make a clock that can keep time for more than 6 months? Bloody daft having to keep resetting it. One day, the bloke whose watch they set it to will have forgotten to wind his up, then what happens? How will they get us out of the suspended animation that must surely follow. Tell me that.

ordinary cars are 4x2.. four wheels, two driven.

as for the millennium... it's not worth worrying about.... the calendars are all made up anyway and have been fiddled with when shown not to work. For me, it makes more sense to mark the new century at the *000 mark... only insane pedants think *001 is the correct and only way

*000 Would be the end of the previous century, we never had a year 0!

 

[Fnaar]

Are ordinary cars 8's or 4x2's?

This is a 4x2

 

[ayceejay]

There are a lot of those 16's around here but the locals call 'em cat par cat for some reason

 

[ClichéGuevara]

This is a 4x2

Aye, but it still comes in a metric length...

 

[sight-pin]

This is a 4x2

Don't they call that a 2x4 in the USA.

Silly isn't it?

My pet hate is people who get dates wrong - for example almost everybody celebrated the new millenium on 1 January 2000 when the 20th century still had a year left to run. Muppets.

Bet your millennium party was a bit lonely

How do you know? Were you around when they started counting? Where 'they' around when they started counting?

 

[MichaelW2]

Aye, but it still comes in a metric length...

Sadly the 2x4 has succumbed to metric lunacy. It may be 47x100mm or 50x100mm, as in :

"Yes Your Honour I hit the gentleman in the dock with a length of 47x100, as he attempted to steal my bicycle"

Blimey, give 'em 2.54 cms and they take 1.609344kms.

And what's with 3 door and five door cars?

THE ONE AT THE BACK IS NOT A DOOR, IT'S A TAILGATE!

Correct.

 

[raleighnut]

Is it known as a 'tailgate' when you trap said dogs waggy bit in it.
