If this is true and not just a joke, this sounds like both of them are off in their own little world and having two effectively different conversations at the same time.

Darth Walrus posted:I'm actually interested in what the usual pubs-per-person range is. ONS study at the end of last year says nationally it's 5.8 pubs per 10,000 people, so 1724 people per pub. In my town it feels like it's mainly the suburban pubs around the outskirts that have closed down. There's still just as many in the town centre and pretty much every village still has at least one. Village I grew up in still has two although the one I used to work in has transitioned into more of a restaurant/B&B.

Boris is trying to steer Trump towards trade deal specifics. It's not working, because Trump has no means or motive for being specific about trade deal minutiae.

When my family moved to the place they currently live, in 1990, there were 4 pubs for a village of about 900 people. 150 of those people were Primary School age, with similar numbers also of Secondary School age. So 4 for 600 people of drinking age. Very cool.

I walk past 4 pubs on the way to work but one of them is basically more of a hotel now and another one is the local racists pub which is always covered in England flags and was plastered with UKIP posters last election.

Pretty sure this would require a change of law in the US, I think it's illegal for foreign ships to ship poo poo between US cities. We can, however do this within the EU no bother. For now.

wikipedia posted:In the United States, the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (Jones Act) requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried on U.S.-flag ships, constructed in the United States, owned by U.S. citizens, and crewed by U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. The Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886 states that no foreign vessels shall transport passengers between ports or places in the United States, either directly or by way of a foreign port. Hmm yes I'm sure the yanks will be happy to scrap this.

Boris is just terrible at geography and thought the best port for US ships to dock at in the UK would be Boston, in Lincolnshire Seriously though why the gently caress would UK ships be interested in shipping cargo domestically around the US? I don't get what he was going for

lol but if Johnson said ‘cabotage’ he definitely knew what ports he was talking about. chances that Trump knows the term and didn't just bluff through rather than ask seem quite low though

Yeah but like, offering your merchant fleet to do cabotage for an undeveloped nation I can kinda see, but the United loving States? I think they've got enough ships chief

marktheando posted:Hmm yes I'm sure the yanks will be happy to scrap this. The only time there's talk of repealing the Jones Act is when there's disasters at our possessions in the Caribbean. It makes shipping there relatively more expensive. I'm not sure how much the cries to repeal have to do with making GBS threads all over our merchant mariners, however. On the speeding ticket thing: over here it's generally a criminal offence...in many states you can lose your driver's license over it.

My sister's getting married in a big blow-out wedding, and me and the family went to scout wedding venues with her and her fiancée. They'd decided on this big stately home a few miles away, and we were looking around it when we found a 'disco' that turned out to be an actual, no-poo poo sex dungeon. That was kind of awkward.

My prospective guest bedroom had a bed covered in gold leaf, the toilet had photos on the walls of Charles and Camilla joking with the house owners about shooting people, and one of the bathrooms had a giant pit in the floor next to the bathtub that was covered by a glass sheet. There was a fresh grave in the church graveyard next door. Maybe I should have paid a little more attention to that.

feedmegin posted:To be fair, bail bonds are American thing - that's why we don't have bail bondsmen advertising all over the place. If they think you'll turn up in court then you go home for the low price of nothing. If they think there's a risk you won't, it's jail for you and money won't get you out of it (legally, anyway). You know, I genuinely didn't know this! I just assumed we had regulations about advertising for it and that our amounts were probably more reasonable. Give us the cabotage, Don!
