Got me thinking, the amount of cars in Africa is exceptionally low, surely they definitely have more doors?

Totally 50/50 56 votes each at the time of writing to think 56 people are so deluded.

Still doors though.

I highly doubt it.

 

There’s still wheels on and in everything - clocks, locks, cookers, lighters, levers, fans, washers, televisions, radios…

 

Honestly don’t know how anyone can vote doors. I imagine wheels outnumber doors about 1,000 to 1.

I'd say not as its not capable of being opened. If that counts then if you peer inside the windows of a toy car there's often a picture of a steering wheel moulded in the plastic.... Does that still count even though it cannot turn at all?

4 doors but there is only one weale, debate over.

If painted on doors count then so do the digitalised spinning wheels every time a page is loading online.

I'd say a door needs a hinge mechanism and a wheel needs to turn / roll.

It'll be wheels by an absolute distance

Hadn't realised there was a voting button until now... Team wheels back in front. 

 

I think we need admin to add a vote for Michael Caine as well, who clearly wants to rid the world of doors but not wheels....

OK, so I've thought about this a bit too much over the past day...

 

If a door is something a person must be able to go through, or a cupboard door, and wheels are something that move a person around, or something a person pushes (i.e. shopping trolleys, buggies, office chairs), then I can see how the debate would be close, but do think it would be wheels.

 

If you add in wheels on toys, then I can't see how doors could come close - even if you start including doors that are on the toys but don't actually open(!).

 

If you include wheels that help things move rather than do the moving themselves, and you start including wheels in drawers, wheels on sliding wardrobes, wheels on dishwasher racks, then its not remotely close.

 

(Without even going into wheels in mechanisms).

 

So a quick estimate in my house would be 10 car wheels, 19 bike wheels, 4 buggy wheels, 10 ride on vehicles/trailers, 6 scooter wheels, 1 wheelbarrow wheel, 15 office chair wheels, at least 1,000 toy car wheels, 200 lego wheels, 64 mini wheels on sliding doors & that's without steering wheels, drawers/dishwashers etc. I think I might be able to reach 60 doors including cupboard, car doors, shower doors, garage doors.

 

That's a home environment, but retail environments would be wheels with the number of supermarket trolleys, office environments would be wheels for office chairs alone, and transport would be wheels with trains, lorries, trams all wheel-heavy.

 

Not really sure how this was ever a debate in the first place. Sorry to the 58 of you in Team Door. You have lost.

I wonder if the biological world could even up the score somewhat, after all there are no functioning wheels in nature but it's replete with valves and sphincters.  Food for thought...

Valves and sphincters don't count. Clutching at straws, mate.

 

Definitely wheels.

 

I'll give you the pouch on a marsupial as a door though

I have no attachment to either side of the debate, but if it must be had then I expect all parties to faithfully consider every facet of the debate.  If something opens and closes to allow or restrict passage of something then it is in essence a doorway.

No you just wanted to say sphincter let's be honest.

i hate to be a boblet but we are not arguing about a doorway but a door which would in essence  be in the middle of the doorway and stop the doorway from being used.

Did you know we have sphincter muscles in our eyes aswell?  How cool is that

When is a door not a door?

When it's ajar.


Christ, I don't even know why I wrote that.

So bored.

Need to get out more.
