I remember when I was a teenager, there was a car stunt show on Walton Street car park, it was a little more low key than this thing, but there was plenty of driving through fire and the like.
OT but an interesting point in your language there - what's the difference between an ex-pat and an immigrant? I read a thought provoking article about this t'other day.
That was my first thought. When does the egg-chasing end? Surely they cant still play on after this and it has to be before the pitch is relayed, can they?
I dunno. Ask me another. I suppose I could have instead written either 'immigrant' or 'emigrant' in this case. It's ambidextrous.
Yeah I went to that too Wasn't it called something like "Hells Drivers" or Hells something anyway I enjoyed it at my tender age
It's moot. It's a cross we immigrants (to the US) have to bear. OR It's a cross we emigrants (in this case, from the UK) have to bear (in this case, in the US). Unless you know better, which, of course, as always, you may.
In the country you arrive in you are regarded as an immigrant. You are regarded as an emigrant in the country you left. I think?
But I never hear British people who have moved abroad, say to live with thousands of other Brits on the Costa Del Sol, describe themselves as an immigrant.
So, as I said I read a thought provoking article on this very subject and the use of words to both legitimise and stigmatise the natural movement of people. As OLM says, if you're not interested in what I'm saying then don't reply. Exactly. So why aren't they labelled immigrants?

"… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses. (Juvenal, Satire 10.77–81)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses But nowadays the "people" are even persuaded to pay for the circus themselves. Genius!
