Sgp Riders' Numbers

[SteveEvans 248]

 

Doesn't occur to you that what might appeals to Americans doesn't always appeal to Europeans. Why do you strive to reduce people to numbers...we are not a number. So let us do what we like and you do what you like.

 

Long live "Chris Harris"

 

Americans invented Starbucks, McDonalds and Budweiser but not sure we can claim numbers!

 

SGP is adopting what Moto GP, the top FIM sport, has had for years, and now F1 has taken on. If it works it will stay, simple as that!

Didn't even invent Budweiser. That was the Czechs originally!

We made it cool in English pubs.

Why we should listen to you when you can't even decide whether it was "you" who invented Budweiser, or made it cool in English pubs

You don't have to. Numbers are BSI's idea not mine!

Although the real origin of Numbers is a little involved to get into here.

It's safe to say they go back a couple of thousand years in some form another.

 

Those fine people at BSI have given us many wonderful innovations.

But others got in first on this.

Does Matt Ford have Egyptian ancestors?

Budweiser's brewed over here now, described as "The World's poorest imitation of a poor imitation"

 

Yanks have always been superb at selling snake oil.

 

Only the Brits think its cool, was never cool over here!

American copycat stuff has nothing on that marketing sensation......Wm.Younger's no.3 Scotch Ale

I think you need to do a serious bit of re-evaluation on what is 'cool' in the UK before your next visit.

If you think you wil be 'getting down wiv the yoof' by ordering a 'Bud' in a Yank accent here.

Just stand back and wait for the p!ss-taking to start.

 

Thinking 'bud' is 'cool' in the UK is as far in the past as thinking 'cool' is really 'cool'.

Unless you wear your knitwear over your shoulders, Bud.

I moved away in the late 90s to be fair!

I know many people who enjoy czech beers.

I know no one who thinks, or has ever thought, that Budweiser is cool.

 

In short

Budvar good

Budweiser not

And the US version was "invented" by Adolphus Busch who was German.
