The UK has definitely gone backwards since Brexit, but the right-wing lunatics who lied about the imaginary advantages of cutting the country off from it's major trading partners are presumably as happy as pigs in s*it.
The Natural Philosopher is deeply into self-delusion. He imagines that people who don't share his delusions are lying to him, and dislikes them for it.
He's insane, and obviously not equipped to recognise the reality of his situation.
You must be a very sad person if that is your technical input to a technical discussion.
You're becoming more like a remoaner every day. I am a Brexiter, but your lies give Brexit a bad name.
One has to assume you're an art student without a clue to how drum brakes work.
No, that was you, and idiot mumbling about braking efficiency in reverse.
You are a remoaner.
No, that is in fact you.

One might be forgive to think that English is not your first language.
Feel free to point out the mumbling in the following sentence, "I have had issues as with leading shoe drum brakes the braking efficiency is seriously impaired when moving backwards."
Oh dear, it is normally a remainer who knows how others think. That now applies to you.
Only an idiot would call someone who voted for Brexit, and has benefitted from it, a Remoaner and an avid EU supporter.
I know precisely how drum brakes work. I'm not the art student here who doesn't see to a have a clue to pass a meaningful comment without coming across as an art student throwing his toys of of his pram..
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Only an American could be confused by a roundabout.
I got a lift from a lorry driver once. He told me his apprentice managed to roll a lorry going round a roundabout because she "didn't realise it was fully loaded". I told him I could tell his was fully loaded even as a passenger, you can just feel it pulling.
The French should never be allowed to make cars.
Bubble cars were effective in fighting the enemy?!
And that reason would be?
Because they were not allowed to make aircraft.
Why do the Americans not let you bring a Peugeot in?
I had a 405 once which was converted to diesel. 0-60mph in 21 seconds. Not much fun.

Peugeot looked at the upcoming EPA and NHTSA regulations and decided the market wasn't worth it. There was talk a year or two ago but they again decided it wasn't worth it.
There is a loophole for cars less than 25 years old called 'Show and Display' but a run-of-the-mill Peugeot wouldn't be eligible.
It might be possible for a private citizen to bring a model up to the standards and jump through all the hoops but it would be expensive and painful.
It wasn't an effort to specifically keep French cars out but the sales in the US were so dismal Peugeot, Renault, and Citroen didn't bother. Yugo dropped out in '92 even before Clinton bombed their plant. There are no Dacias, but that is sort of a Renault. Some movie I watched recently, maybe Midsomer Murders, had a Dacia.
Fiat came back with the 500 about 10 years ago. They're supposedly are doing a EV 500. Personally, I briefly had a Spider back in the day. Never again.
I had an old Peugeot 203 when I was a graduate student. Great value for money.
I had a equally old 404 when I was first in the UK, which was both fast and cheap to insure. The 304 that followed it was fine, but the quickest route to replacing the fan belt included taking out the radiator, which wasn't. My wife liked Nissans so we went over to them.
In much the same way many drivers here won't understand how to treat a
4-way stop.
By whose order?
Why is America so fussy on standards?
Yet I'm sure in a few states you don't even have an annual safety test.

For many things seems like we live in a 'nanny state'.
Just bought a band saw. The manual had many more warnings than how to install the blade.
