not for boomboxes - there are many many many
and the prices can be reasonable
but for simple stuff - it's FAR too expensive
I wanna come home

Used to have this 1978 Truck ( One just like it almost ) about 15 years ago...

Like the shots, they look great. Did you use any camera tricks to alter the colour/lighting? Some cool, subtle effects going on there. And 6 bucks for bisto? What's in it...Saffron?
claret.badger - 2013-04-14 16:26

What is it that makes America rubbish? We fund so many other countries and are in debt because of it. The only reason America can be rubbish is due to the fact that we have a shit president and we keep our noses up every other country's asses but honestly I take offense to the post title America being rubbish. This forum is for Boomboxes, not to knock my country......well my country at the moment until I hopefully move to UK and reserve my job at BBC Radio One!

Don't take it as offense Joey Badger wanted to get more attention to his pictures.
Would you read the topic named as "badger's photography"?
But in this case, everyone is curious, what's it all about.

I've never really seen a can of beans over $2 here. Where are you located? The gas prices, I agree, are absolutely insane, $4 for a gallon of gas? THAT is complete rubbish!

just paid £1.40 per litre for petrol today, or gas... despite it being a liquid.
that works out at $9.65 a gallon!
i would even resort to calling it gas if we could get it USA cheap
claret.badger - 2013-04-19 10:54
Only Heinz imported beans are worth eating
American beans are full of poison
actually most US food is full of bad for you rubbish and should be avoided at all costs
HFCS, MSG, Gelatine and saturated fats are really terrible things
Luckily Heinz has just released SIMPLY HEINZ ketchup - without HFCS - but it's still much sweeter than the UK version
I used my Supermarket card and got petrol for 3.25 a gallon yesterday

I once had a choc bar someone bought back from the states (I think it was a Hershey bar). Do Americans know how much is too much when it comes to sugar?

you realise you get fuel ridiculously cheap in the usa? why complaining?
walkgirl - 2013-04-19 12:04
Here €1.80 per liter!!!

dogtemple - 2013-04-19 13:52
yeah i think it is cheap, very cheap! its more than half the amount we pay for fuel in uk and europe.
it costs over double what you pay.
would you rather pay $10 a gallon like we do?
you shouldnt complain, you have it easy!
rjkwerty - 2013-04-19 14:03
I'm only saying gas prices based on my experience. Gas used to only be about $2 a gallon. I find that a lot of American food is, yes, filled with preservatives and all that nasty stuff, but I only buy the fresher stuff that I can get my hands on. Europe is very conscious of its environment, which may explain the gas prices, also, many places in Europe are urban as opposed to rural. I live in a very rural part of the US and I have to drive every day to get to where I need, because it's not close enough to walk. The nearest gas station is about 10 miles away from where I live.

mitchelljames - 2013-04-19 14:46
I cant speak for other countries but in the UK its the TAX that the goverment puts on the fuel that makes it so expensive. I think its around 50/60%??.
Oh, and we pay road tax on top of that but thats another story
claret.badger - 2013-04-19 19:54
it's 75% duty on fuel in UK
Americans have experienced insane inflation on their "gas" prices in the last 10 years - so they have a right to moan
the distance between cities and size of their surrounding countryside for example and the size of their engines is reason enough for them to have cheap "gas" - heck, it'd take me 6 hours in 3 directions of the compass to get out of this here state!
NY is a 20 hour drive
please remember to adjust calculations for the smaller US gallon (3.8L as opposed to a full fat UK gallon of 4.5l)
hth
US food is over sweet or over salty
conversley - when an American eats in UK he will undoubtably claim our food too bland
and I now know why - their palates have been fried
spoofington - 2013-04-19 20:44
I'm positive european autos get way better fuel mileage than American cars. That should equate to a more even price on fuel costs, overall? Just recently, American cars are now required better fuel mileage, than previous. 30mpg is more common than the 12-19mpg in the 70s-90s. My $.02
walkgirl - 2013-04-19 21:13
You say New york is 20 hours away!, Madrid and Rome are also about 20 hours away from here!, yet I do not go there, because I have no bussiness there!
Mmmm, just do not travel so much there, that is what I do!
