      My dad had a Royal Enfield back in the 60s. He said it had the worst electrical system he ever had to deal with.

          In a country that has as much rain as England, your motorcycles should probably be capable of not shorting out when it rains.

      The British Brexiters are not as stupid at Contemporary American Republicans, but they do come close.

          At least half of everyone is below average. The problem is that the bell curve is flattening and the stupid people are able to network and create their own little groups. They become unaware of their own ignorance because they keep getting positive feedback to fuel their negativity.

          We all gave to be aware of this and not let it happen to us. The old saying, “keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out”.

              Thankyou, you are correct.

              Average is an ambiguous term; mean, modal or median is much more precise. Unfortunately, those who are at or below the median are ignorant of the distinction.

              It is however, a term that a Brexiter can understand.

      We have a normal mix.

      Brexit was one of the first times that the idiots moved in both force and sync however. It didn’t help that most of our media has been captured by right leaning rich gits. We are still reeling from the fall of the independent BBC.
