I never understood that word “motorist”. Is there an ideology called “motorism”?

Root is “motorized carriage”. Refers to a person (or persons) who ride in a motorized carriage, as opposed to a horse-drawn carriage. Rickshaws were not a big thing in the United States.

Buy Jack in the box stock. Lines around the corner here. People want a cheap burger after this disaster.

health chiefs today warned that “worrying” data showed vehicle use was at its highest since lockdown began

Return of the infectious coughing and sputtering that used to plague British cars.

Motorism, I think, means being addicted to driving. The things you learn on “The Murdoch Mysteries”. lol

They’re waiting around the block for BK?

I guess the rumor’s true... That Brits eat bland, tasteless food.

The ONLY thing good at Burger King is the chocolate shake.

The rolls and fries are truly awful.

Visiting UK a while back I just had to try the Wimpy burger. My one-word review: “damp”
