Is the US as tolerant as the UK ?

Are they, though?
I don't ride but know people who do and they loves it. I live really close to a Hells Angels Chapter but never seen them ride convoy through the mountains so who knows.

Very nice.
Yeah, unfortunately they are quite a few bike accidents on the mountain roads
There are a few clubhouses around but it's very rare to see them on group rides. There are annual memorial rides that people know of and cops go observe, but part of their thing is NOT announcing rides or routes Ever. They never leak that info. Pretty rare to come across a group of them on a ride vs. just regular riders from a Facebook group meeting up for a ride - much much more common to see groups of brand or type specific motorcyclists out for a group ride than HA. Or groups of mixed bikes who all just saw a FB post and decided to go meet up. Or people on some charity run or something for a cause.
HA are kinda big here in terms of their organization and influence, but they're an extreme minority of motorcycle riders.. and their clubhouses are in the process of being seized under civil forfeiture laws. Been years in the making but a few clubhouses have recently been seized. Now that'll be in the courts for years before a final outcome one way or another.

We had bagged milk back in the mid 1980’s but I haven’t seen it since.
Canada is a bilingual country with two official languages; English & French. Hence the package labelling.

I have a bagged milk holder thingy that I use to shovel snow salt.
I've had it for decades.
I don't think I even had bagged milk as a child.
I don't think they sell it here either. ^
The bilingual packaging is a pain. That's why there are so few American stores willing to expand here.
They'd have to front the cost of repackaging everything as bilingual.
Fun Fact: Ever notice when you pick up a box to read the side you always see the French side first?
That's on purpose because most people are right-handed so we lift with our right and look on the left.
The left side is usually where the French is.
Now back to our regularly scheduled thread topic.
