Originally posted by sonhouseBlackpoolmad is trying to sell off his old DVD's, with a clear warning that they won't work outside the region and you are asking him to pay first for expensive all region DVD's then try to auction them off?
So offer these DVD players for sale, will play all 6 regions and 2 formats:

You completely missed the point.. and proved along with Suzianne that you really do think you are at the centre of the universe.. 😞
Originally posted by sonhouseWhat a bizarre take on this.
Well, maybe you could refuse a sale to the American market. You put the ball in the court of the buyer and just go Caviat Emptor, then call them stupid. Perhaps the correct word would be 'fraud'. You know dam good and well what address something is shipping to. It would be easy enough to just say Sorry, no deal, our DVD's don't work in your county.
That would never occur to you I bet.
Are you seriously suggesting that mad should refuse to sell to all Americans, including those who have region free DVD players?

We had this LAST week mate.
Lime was used to preserve food in the 18th century as ships of the day were not fitted with fridge freezers 🙂
So calling English people after a food?
How about Americans should be called Doughnut then?
"Hey Doughnut? Tell Maple Syrup to get super size cheeseburger to buy a DVD off some Limey in Blackpool. Make sure it's a region 1 though"
"OK Gun Totter"

From www.dictionary.com:
Word Origin & History
limey
1888, Australian, New Zealand, and South African slang for "English immigrant;" U.S. use is attested from 1918, originally "British sailor, British warship," short for lime-juicer (1857), in derisive reference to the British Navy's policy (begun 1795) of issuing lime juice on ships to prevent scurvy among sailors. In Amer.Eng., extended to "any Englishman" by 1925.

In primary schools in the UK (age 4 - 10), kids are still given lime juice to prevent scurvy. It's why we all have bad teeth actually - due to its acidic properties. An unfortunate side effect, but a cross worth bearing in the quest to be scurvy free.
This bad teeth joke started in England during a Glenda Jackson film circa 1970.
She was having a big row with her American husband and she stated ALLL Americans had to wear compulsory buck teeth metal braces.
As we have national health here, it is FREE to go to the dentist, so I'd say it is a myth that all Americans have film star teeth and all Limeys have rotten teeth.
Utter b****ks!!!
And Suzianne.
"are you serious? Are you serious?"
You remind me of that character in Good morning Vietnam. 🙂 The one who did the speech "and if you do-oo; and if you do-oo" Then they all take the p*** out of him when he leaves the room haha.
No sense of humour these American women.

One has to have a sense of humor when one deals with men every day.
Oh yeah, and I did have braces also from 10 to 12.
Glenda Jackson was onto something.
