Adding a ground loop breaker/safety ground between your chassis ground and power supply ground will not cause a ground loop, but it will make your chassis a better Farady shield. 10 ohm 5 watt resistor in parallel with a 10 amp bridge rectifier, connected between the two points, is all it is. Make sure your fuse will blow before the rectifier in case of a gross fault. And a mains fuse is mandatory with this scheme.

A school friend's brother had an Elan Sprint in the mid 70's, absolutely gorgeous, had electrical fault and caught fire. Not much left, even the carbs melted

How the other half lives, eh? 😀
We don't. It's just that it seems the average left pondian likes their stuff chilled to the point you can't taste it any more!
Exactly. If it’s basically freezing temp it’s hard to appreciate the flavor since your taste buds are numb, although sometimes that could be an advantage with some beer. And they don’t drink Warm Beer, it’s cellar temperature which in GB can be plenty cool.
And some brews are made to be served colder and some are designed to be served not-so-cold. they tend to taste best when served as they were designed to be. But you know that!
I suspect we”re being set up for a joke

Of course! From the mains socket to your equipment. Surely you don't imply that electricity can also flow from your equipment back to the mains??
That would give you free power! 😎

Definitely an improvement with mass market American beers and most lagers. But in England there is a split between northerners who like a head on their beer and southerners who don't. Fizzy versus flat, as opponents refer to them. But it's really a crafty southern ploy to get more beer in our glasses! 😀
Lucas refrigeration.
I think popular American beers are terrible.
Yes.
You asked for it.

Back in the early eighties, I almost bought a Lotus Europa. The fiberglass body was pretty crazed and I was aware of the Lotus reliability issues so I purchased a Matra Simca Bagheera S instead. Twin down draught Dcnf Webbers and a heady 96 bhp! It was the 3 abreast seating that made it such fun. Not much left of the metal beneath the fiberglass body when I sold it though! Shared album - Martin Gulliver - Google Photos
The only Simcas we had over here were marketed as Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon. They were economy cars and were a lot better than the domestic budget offerings (Pinto, Vega, ad nauseum). They were popular, but nobody over here knows they were Simcas.
Hops are grown in the South of England.
Historically they were an expensive ingredient up North so were used sparingly.
Putting a head on the beer was supposed to maximize the aroma from the hops.
Up until the 1980s, proper pubs had huge troughs under the pumps to catch the overflow and return it to the barrel.
Beer would be pumped into the glass continuously overflowing until the glass was full of beer with a thin tight head. You would buy in rounds, hold on to same glasses all night (no idea whose glass you had). Hence the reputation for being a good laxative.
A large head was a landlord's way of serving less beer.
It's the continental Europeans who like a large ice cream cone head on their beer.

I always had a can of Tennent's Lager by my side in my guitar playing days! 'Scotland's National Lager' is brewed in the Wellpark Brewery, Glasgow, using the crystal clear water of Loch Katrine.
The brewery was founded in 1740. That was 35 years before the start of the American War of Independence!

Any Skoda Essesse jokes out there? Fiat 126?
I have a cracking scar on my head from an impact with a 60s Grantura (or was it a Tuscan?)...I was a toddler! My dad spent a good while replacing the engine with the straight six out of a Herald Vitesse, skimmed head, valve work, intake porting. It had a race chassis, but after my little mishap, I'm not sure he ever got the car driving. Now if there were more cars like that, horrendous Lucas and Smith's reliability aside, then perhaps I would have bothered to learn to drive.
I find it quite hilarious that Tennant's has a longer history than...Something else. Tennant's Super was vile stuff, almost like freeze distilled beer (ever frozen a can and drained the liquid contents?)
Maybe more palatable than Buckfast mind you.Heck, I can drink this stuff fine, as long as its below 10deg

Tennent's Super (9% abv), aka 'liquid of the gods', was Scotland's answer to Carlsberg Special. Sweet and sticky like a European malt liquor. After two cans you could not feel your face! If your goal was total and complete heptic annihilation, you need look no further. It's no longer made at Wellpark Brewery.
