@peemee Maybe the percentages are different now but Britain used to be 14% automatics, 86% manuals and America & Japan used to be the opposite—14% manuals and 86% automatics. Seems Australia is the same. I’m jealous because buying automatics over here costs more and there is less choice.
@matigo Alternative definition:
'2 [attributive] British informal used for emphasis to express annoyance: where's that flaming taxi?'

@phoneboy At first I thought that was gibberish but the more I think about it the more I think it’s a rather good insult.
@phoneboy Mmm, broadcast using this tool. I like the cheeky insouciant attitude to the naming of the product.
@matigo I may be a hypocrite though because I use swear words sometimes. It’s weird isn’t it, how you get to middle-age and things that seem quite recent have happened decades ago. If you’d asked me I would have said Viagra came out fifteen years ago.
