Where are you? There are a string of ads for Dunkin' Donuts where they are
targeting a new coffee made for "New Englanders" (I'm sure they're using
similar ads for other parts of the country). Dunkin' Donuts was originally
from Boston, so they have a lot of the New England stuff down, like our
use of the word "Wicked". Before your friend will give you the cup of
coffee, you have to answer a series of questions to prove you're from New
England. In one of them a guy is about to hand a girl a cup and starts
asking her questions, including "Down East'er?" "Someone from Maine"
"Nor'Easter?" "Wicked bad storm".

In another one that ends with the question, "Best movie evah?"
"Wickedddddddd!" the guy with the coffe asks the other guy:

Ooops...McDonalds!


"Turn signals?"

"Waste of time..."

For some reason, they don't show that one any more...

Sound is crappy:

Better:

This one he says, "Sign of weakness" Can't find the "waste of time" one.

McDonald's needs to make their ads better if I'm confusing them with
Dunkin Donuts!

There's all the nice things that you have to eat, that we don't have
here. Like English Muffins. (Flanders and Swann.)

Sainsbury's food stores.I know a married Irish woman (married to that
Irish guy) who lives in Bognor Regis,England.One time when she was at a
Sainsbury's cafeteria a woman accused her of getting some spoons mixed
up in the spoon holder thingys.
They went round and round about those spoons.

Another time, she took a half used broken expensive French lipstick to
the Boots store to get it exchanged for a new one.
She wound up getting a letter of apology from the manager of Boots
stores and some free lipstick too.

You can still buy semaphores for old VW's. rebuilt or new I dunno.
I liked the Tucker's attempt to have a light turn on and shine around
the turn.
I think a later Citroyen has a lite facing sideways.
