Which means it'll work... unlike most things made in the UK

Are you forgetting us yanks?

quote ozzy:

I did my first parachute jump (static line in this case) aged 18 years and 3 days... loved it ever since

A 'static' line -- and up-ended? Shocking.

Well according to a survey a while back in America you have 1 lawyer for every 200 people, in Japan in is for every 11,000. Japanese people can be so sensible

I had an American student here a couple of years ago and he was sued by his neighbour for accidentally cutting some of their grass! Now me being me I'd have chucked him a few extra bucks and got him to do my garden for me

Are you sure they didn't sue to counteract his billing for the little portion he cut?

[ozzy72]

Well I only heard his version, but over $200 for a couple of square inches of cut grass proves to me that the "Sue 'em" culture is totally potty!
