"Apart from the jokes, why not change to conform with the rest of the world?" Eh? Hors contexte.

Alan Sugar went to Oxford didn't he? He's not in a top job.

"Apart from the jokes, why not change to conform with the rest of the world?" Eh? Hors contexte. The context of Europe, you mean? The limits of your horizons.

You're such hard work. Out of context with the rest of the sentence. If you read all of it you might understand.

You being wrong doesn't need context.

Oh dear. I'll copy and paste it for you:
"Driving on the left. Apart from the jokes [wkc joked about his sword hand], why not change to conform with the rest of the world and make driving abroad safer like Sweden did?"
It's not a statement, so I don't see how it can be 'wrong'. If you haven't anything sensible to add go and bother someone else.

"The rest of the World" doesn't drive on the right.

About a third of the world's population drives on the left, I think.
If you can't get used to both, don't drive abroad.

I suppose we could change to driving on the right - so long as we do it gradually.

Every Tuesday morning for a few weeks, then after lunch until bedtime. No rush.

Funny thing is, whenever the traffic lights break down the traffic flows more freely.

Why can’t everyone just rub along nicely, compromise and then agree that we should all drive down the middle of the road?
Problem solved, I think you’ll find.

They're already doing that around here. Usually females late for work using the rear view mirror to put lippy on.

Sturgeon's at it again. Illegally caught out not wearing a mask yet she hasn't called on herself to resign. "For just four days after demanding the heathen Johnson go, it seems the good queen Nic also defied the holy laws of Covid herself. For the faultless First Minister has now been reported to police after being filmed apparently breaching Scotland's face mask rules. Footage on social media shows her without a mask in an East Kilbride barber shop, while on an election campaign trail visit. Naturally, the saintly Sturgeon posted footage of the visit on her own Instagram account with her mask still on. It has been legally required for people to wear face coverings in many indoor settings in Scotland until today, when the law becomes guidance after 647 days. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'We can confirm that we have received a complaint which is currently being assessed.' All of this means that the high priestess of Covid could herself be fined for a breach of lockdown laws, just days after insisting that Boris Johnson must resign for doing similar." www.spectator.co.uk/article/will-nicola-sturgeon-now-resign-
