RE: Redneck Repairs!

Hilarious and ingenious. I assume those vehicles are not on the road legal in every state in the US? I've seen cars like that on the road in Africa but nowhere else :)

Sort:  

oh yes sir steemonkey you did all kinds of traveling didn't you? no these wouldn't be legal anywhere but that don't stop them!

Fair play to em. There's just nowhere to get away with anything like that over here. This small island is just too crowded with nosey parkers, cameras and coppers!

howdy steemonkey! haha! they still call them "coppers"? I thought that was an old nick name from the movies, the old movies. lol.

The word seems to be the reserve of the Englishman of a certain age lol

ha! sir steemonkey a certain age like you are? so they don't still use it, it's probably seen as racist nowadays.

From Wikipedea
The term copper was the original, unshortened word, originally used in Britain to mean "someone who captures". In British English, the term cop is recorded (Shorter Oxford Dictionary) in the sense of 'to capture' from 1704, derived from the Latin capere via the Old French caper.

We still use it. Often shortened to 'cops'. As kids we would play 'cops and robbers'.

ahh yes very good sir steemonkey! yes we used to play cops and robbers here too and we still use the term cops today. very good, thank you!
