hello british users on this webbed site. please explain to me why the speed camera sign depicts an 1800s bellows camera.

do not make the same mistake that my notoriously british friend lucy did in assuming that this is a box camera with the lens facing towards the viewer with a mounting bracket. this is a bellows camera facing sideways with the lens pointed at the road. read em and weep.

#YUK

i will be tagging this and all future posts on the topic as #YUK (as in "why, UK?")

speaking of: why is it a moderate challenge to find normal sized packets of crisps (TL note: potato chips) as opposed to bundles of six mini-packs

i have thus far received two explanations:

• "the big packets are a meal deal thing. [STORE] doesn't do meal deals so they don't stock them." counterpoint: meal deals do not exist in australia and they still sell the normal sizes
• "it's so they don't have to say it's unhealthy. they can say the serving size is ⅙ so the kilocalories/salt/fats are lower." counterpoint: you could just say "this packet of crisps contains six servings". also who cares if you have to say your thing is unhealthy
