The one on the corner of Broad st and Badger av is directly opposite the graveyard isn't it?
The ones in London would video it with their phones and post it on social media.
Honestly, every time I have been to the UK, I was struck by the general happy, day-to-day living there, much slower paced than the US, shorter working hours, more time to spend with family and friends. And the village type of living with everyone having a garden, flowers everywhere, great open areas of greenery and trees. Very soothing for the mind and blood pressure. I am still amazed at googling where we lived in the UK, still huge open fields. I attended a school in the UK and had to climb over a fence to get there from our apartment - there was a cow in the field, LOL - she used to chase me to the other side of the field, I suppose she was probably playing with me!
That's what they're doing here in the UK.
Nope, it's further up Broad Street. There are private houses on the actual corner.
Is it possible those houses weren't there for a while after the care home was built? I am talking of a good while ago.
Perhaps not, but don't forget I was visiting with family members, in different locations. And we visited London, Windsor Castle, Chalfont St Giles, Aylesbury, Beaconsfield, all the shops. Guess it goes with individual perception, and from where I come from I was struck by UK's charm.
How... British. When I was still car commuting, I used to laugh my head off at people who overtook queues without realising that they were all waiting too, and then had to try and cut into the line. There was general reluctance to give way, owing to our national obsession with queueing correctly.
Apart from London, those are the 'nice' bits of the UK.
We've been hearing that this virus is rapidly losing its strength and fading away, at least where we are.
I was once headed down a dual carriageway and there were warning signs for miles saying that the outside lane was closed up ahead. Of course one idiot blatantly thought the rules didn't apply to him, and overtook everyone right down to the last car. They wouldn't let him in, neither would the one behind, or the one behind, then me and after I'd gone through I looked in my mirrors and he was still left stuck waiting for someone to let him in.
I'll never get over the Brits queuing up at bus stops, what manners!
Just stay away from Hertfordshire. Trev lives there.
It might be because we don't carry guns here. An argument would lead to actual bodily contact.
They tore it down to prevent people going to see it.
Oh, over here many try to do that - we solve the situation by just letting them in, each car lets another car in all the way down the line.
It's perhaps changing now, but it never ceases to amaze me how lots of us don't speak out more. I was in a supermarket with narrow aisles and there was a worker in the way with a cage that he was stocking the shelves from. An old couple just stood there and I could see they were annoyed, but the wouldn't say anything to him. I went past the old couple and said to the guy working there ''excuse me'' and he apologised and moved out of the way.
Zipping. I think, in some countries, that this is required by law.
My British Mum was like that, she would never think of complaining or speaking out, she was a sweetheart.
Never heard of 'zipping', but I don't believe it's required here, just too many people and the easiest and quickest way to solve it.
Well in most states you are supposed to alternate at the merge point. According to the folks who run the traffic simulations it's the most efficient method (rather than sticking your corner in front of the first car on the merge side that looks to be chicken.)
The guy I mentioned though had deliberately gone past everyone else who were queuing in one lane and in the proper fashion. That's why no one let him in.
I was in a minibus on a tour of Cairo, back in '92 when our driver announced that we would be going the wrong way down a one-way street, because it was quicker and "...it is only a five Egyptian pound fine, if the Police bother". Later there was the U-turn across three lanes of traffic so we could get a better look at the place, where President Sadat had been assassinated. As the traffic seems to keep flowing without the multiple collisions. The way the buses get used is amazing too, no-one bothers if bus is at an official stop. or whether or not it's moving.
I once looked out my 'hotel' window in downtown Cairo and saw two guys herding goats across a major road. In the rush hour. And no one thought it unusual. Marvelous city.
