Speeding and some other traffic violations are not criminal offences if dealt with by means of a fixed penalty ticket.

Speeding is a criminal offence but a fixed penalty ticket is not a criminal conviction.

I guess that means I'm from the bad Washington

Did you see the joke earlier in the thread? Good Washington is the one that has Seattle, the Puget sound, two mountain ranges nearby, etc. Bad Washington (especially from 2017 to 2020) is Washington, DC.

I have no knowledge of the UK Washington! Other than that there are some well known accents and makers and takers and some other stuff. Way over my head.

But Washington State forfeited its good name when it gave the world Starbucks.

It's probably an old joke!

And really? That's the Washington business you don't like? Not Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, REI, or Costco?

Has the audio world gone totally mad?

Should we all buy one to be part of the IN crowd?

Well, apparently it "lowers the noise floor" so it must be good and a bargain to boot

It's not just the audio world that has gone mad, but the world in general

I'm not sure. Isn't it one of those sexual orientation/identity things? I find it hard to keep up.

Anti-lock Braking System?

I think it's 'anything but Starbucks'.

I understand the point, and I'm not a fan of their bland offerings either, but the whole artisan coffee thing started in Seattle, with Starbucks and others, IIRC. Certainly Starbucks were in the vanguard in the UK, so I give them credit for that, at least.

 

[mansr]

I suspect Starbucks was once actually quite good. Then, as they grew, they had to do two things: 1) reduce costs and 2) appeal to a broader market. That can only end one way. They're not the first to have travelled that road.

Here's one that's "gently used" and only slightly cracked for anybody whose noise floor needs lowering! https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649724273-entreq-poseidon-ground-box/

There is a saying that a fool and his money are easily parted... anyone who actually bought one of these with their own money most have a team of helpers just to get their shoelaces tied!

'Slightly cracked' probably describes the original purchaser too!

I'll have thee know, lad, that many of us have worked our bollox off all our lives and we still cannot afford a team of helpers to tie our shoe laces.

If truth be told, we didn't have shoe laces to tie.

But we were 'appy!
