    I got a lift from a tourist from Boston when I was hitchhiking from Falkland to Auchtermuchty in Scotland

    He had an A4 sheet of paper that his wife had taped to the front of the glove box that said “LEFT YA FUCKIN BOZO” to make sure he stayed on the right wrong side of the road

      My wife learnt to drive here in the UK, she has a song she sings when she’s anywhere with opposite sides for traffic. Goes something like: Right hand side of the road, right hand side of the road, dear god right hand side of the road…shit fuck, right hand side of the road!

      If he was from Boston, it was probably letter, not A4

          I know, what a silly reply that was! Like he would bring a sheaf of paper 8000 miles or whatever in case his wife wanted to write a sign!

          Is that guy so fucking argumentative cos he’s from Boston? 😂

            An entire sheaf? How many signs do you think she wrote?

                There’s no imperial anything for the US, since they use US customary units. But it’s probably a bushel.

                  If you actually are curious, they come in packs of 500 and we call that a reem of paper. They also come in boxes of 10 reems, and sometimes you can find a half a reem at the local shop but it’s probably the same price as a reem.

                    No, we call it a “ream.”

                    Sorry about your funny bone

        I probably shouldn’t upvote people just because they say the first thought that crossed my mind.

        Yes it means “A track suitable for wheeled traffic, especially for through communication, often in street names” according to Chambers dictionary
