I’d consider it a normal phrase and I’m Australian, so it’s not just a British thing.

I have my [email protected] for my primary after deciding to try and reduce my reliance on gmail, that can get good reactions.
I bought ymous.[tld] deliberately to have [email protected] as a functioning joke email for when places request one, though amusingly the reason I didn’t say which tld is that it’s not one which allows whois masking so it’s really not anonymous at all…
How pervasive surveillance and tracking of people (and their data) is in todays society. We’ve become accustomed to it but I’d bet people a century ago would be shocked at the idea of stuff like regular people being filmed from multiple angles when just going to the shops, having a device in their pocket constantly recording their location, receiving targeted advertising based on what information they’ve looked at previously, etc.
OP is either worried about ghosts or the serial killer(s) whom he nicked a few bodies from.
The pretty important context to this video is that the boy in question had allegedly just broken into the mayor’s house and he was waiting for the police (see here for a news article about the event).
What do you mean electric motors have no transmissions?
They do though, it’s just that most are single speed reduction boxes (unless you’ve got a Taycan).
Why argue only about the transmission? Why not have cars with manual ignition?
Because on an enjoyment:effort scale a manual transmission ranks a lot higher than stuff like hand starting, manual ignition timing or manual chokes.
If you dislike machines making your life easier, stop driving all together.
Do you also tell photographers to quit photography if they use manual mode to control their camera, or woodworkers to only use powered tools instead of hand tools? Sometimes having that bit more of a connection to or control over what you’re doing is just more engaging or more enjoyable - maybe you don’t care about that when driving but there’s a lot of people who do.
The majority of cars don’t have a warning for low oil levels, the sensor for that has historically been the owner checking the dipstick. Oil level sensors are becoming more common now as more models appear with them but are still not ubiquitous even in brand new cars.
The oil warning light in most cars is for low oil pressure, and if that one comes on it’s time to pull over immediately and hope you managed to turn the engine off in time to save the bearings.
