The American woman is at it again. Not satisfied with destroying tea she's turned her attention to scrambled eggs grin

I saw the vid of the chap trying to follow her instructions namsnanny; it was a bit of a disaster wasn't it!

Why is anybody thinking that this thread is being "policed"? I don't understand that comment at all; surely Maw was simply adding her posted opinion, not "policing"? <sigh>

The tea one was worse. Made me want to be sick! Having said that I've been to the US 11 times and love the American people. They're so much more polite and helpful than us.

The video is bacon and eggs fried on the pavement today.

I think we've all been having a meltdown today, MawBroon!

Have you got a bit clip of the bacon and eggs on the pavement Callistemon? It love to see how that goes down! grin

why so Americans call a fringe "bangs"?

It’s not a term I’ve ever heard when I’ve been the US.

Ive always thought 'bangs' referred to the Farah Fawcett type fringe that was long and styled/swept back towards the ears. Not the kind of fringe that was styled across the forehead. I used to think oh they must be called bangs because they bang about when they run after a baddie.

I only ever hear people speak of their fringe when I'm at the hairdressers or when I'm with a friend/family and we're discussing out hair. I expect its the same with 'bangs' which is a much used term in the States.

Oh yes, I’ve heard bangs referring to a fringe, I meant I’d never heard of it in regard to a fridge.

A fridge???

:D :D

Nor have I smile

I didn't see that bit.
