Hey Lighten up folks, I was in Britain a year ago and loved it, I thought a license for TV was funny, I have to have my car inspected here in the US. Do you guys? I could drive the Highways as fast as I tried to keep up with you guys, however it was frightening for me, to afraid to do that here. Yes I have a gun (not Licensed) but my Brit friend had them also.
I loved it over there, I got a ticket from the city of London for driving through, forgot I needed a permit. Still have the ticket waiting to be picked up here in KC so I can have an excuse to pay it. Love you folks, the Pubs were great, although when I rented my car forgot that you folks drive on the other side,it scared the pooh out of me.

"I got a ticket from the city of London for driving through, forgot I needed a permit."
You don't need a permit to drive through London, but you are supposed to pay a fee (congestion charge it's called). This was introduced a couple of years ago by the rabidly left wing America-hating, Bush bashing, Jew baiting Ken Livingstone who is sadly and disgracefully still Mayor of London.
Conservatives hate and oppose this charge and conservative politicians in London have vowed to repeal it as soon as possible.
I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here.
You'all come back now y'hear!

LOL. Yeah that whole left-right thing can be confusing. I hired a car in LA a year ago and couldn't seem to get the hang of the idea that the steering wheel was on the left-hand side of the car... It was okay on the freeway but as soon I got off it I had to keep muttering under my breath to remind myself: "Drive on the right, on the right, on the right..."
