   Just checked back, it’s just before 8pm GMT, and the strip is here!

   We know it’s not your fault Graham, though Ten Cats came through OK.

   There’s something going on with GC, all of today’s strips have generic filenames instead of their normal ‘id-date’ filenames. I archive a few of the strips for reference purposes.

   “No Rug Rats” would be acceptable.

   Obviously a reference to “The Magic Pie Bush!” (An older meme).

   Ah! another one that confuzzed me ages ago until I worked it out.

   Here in the UK, what we refer to as a ‘Convection Oven’, the US refer to as a ‘Conventional Oven’. And what the US refers to as a ‘Convection Oven’, here in the UK we refer to as a ‘Fan Oven’.

   The details will trip you up every time unless you’re paying attention!

   The concept was good, ’Let’s build a modern car with retro styling’, but the execution failed badly. The car was essentially a bog-standard front-wheel-drive GM platform with a poorly thought through body on it. They screwed access to the engine compartment by not following through with the ‘full retro’ design and making the front end more like the ‘40s/’50s design they intended. If you don’t care what a car looks like, and are only concerned with getting from A to B, then they’re fine, and because they weren’t sort after on the second-hand market, cheap transport.

   As flawed as they are, to me they still score higher in my rankings than the UK Austin Allegro.

   Certainly not one of those. We even got inflicted with them over here in the UK! They didn’t sell well.

   Don’t forget non Americans, that American oven temperatures in recipes will be given in Fahrenheit and not Celsius (Centigrade).

   .

   By all means set your oven to 350C (If it can go that high), if you prefer your meatloaf to be on fire when you remove it from the oven ;-)
