Default Having been...

...to "Jolly Olde" several times I can only relay the excitment of coming around a "roundabout" and naturally drifting to the right side only to find a great freakin' lorry in my lane.....Dang Brit's can't stay on the "correct" side of the road!

Even better when you are in a Fiesta loaned from Ford or a car from AC on "trade plates" and you know that when they blow in the number plate you will be well on your way back across the Atlantic and some other poor sucker will get blamed!

My business partner wanted to drive the last tme we were there....he panicked when a large lorry came at him so he hugged (and hit) the kerb blowing both left side tyres. With true Einstien thought he suggested we "put the spare on"...my reply "gee, do you think they carry TWO of them here as opposed to our one?"

Next time Wilf, I will call you and let you scare the bejeebers outa me!
