What about those you have not been? Lol!!! Just a Wednesday morning humour. :D :lol: :P :evil:

Have you tried Toronto (The QE Highway, The Jersey Turnpike, The Autobarn (not sure of the spelling) in Germany, Genevé to Zurich motorway, Paris, Brussels, The Various Highways in NYC?)

Where have you been driving anyway? Haifa, Peckam (no potholes though!), Hackney, Liverpool or Afghanistan?

Have a nice day! :D
Praise The Lord!!!!

They are the worst I have used but I think I am reacting more to the signage that pretty much tells you what exit you missedby the time you see it.

So true! Especially at the motorways... and I always thought that I was alone at it!

None of those. Spain, Portugal, Poland, Russia, India, Phillipines, China, Mongolia, Ukraine, Baltic states, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania. All pretty bad in road terms (-:

If you live within the M25 there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to own a car. Personally I'd like to see the whole of the congestion zone in central London pedestrianised with only buses, taxis and delivery vehicles allowed in.
In a few years time we'll look back on immigration control like we look back on American prohibition in the thirties - futile and counter-productive.

Which drug are you on???????
I live in Wembley and to get to work . it used to take me one hour by public transport. by car it takes 30 minutes .
My son goes to school and if he mises the 7.50 bus he would be very late for school which starts at 8.35 am. by car I can take him there in 10 minutes.
So please don't tell me about CC. it is a rip off our public transport is like a sick man who is trying to give up smoking but still insist on smoking 20 a day.

Why don't you and your son cycle to work and school then.

We almost never drive anywhere in London, public transport is better and cheaper.

We cycle and walk as well, exercise as well as travel!

unfortunately it is not that possible although we do walk a lot every night. we can not cycle as we are a family of 5 including a one year old baby. Also to take public transport it would be expensive and tirying. I love my car and will never give it up. plus my Insurance is very cheap thanks to no claim bonuses.

maybe if we were in Holland it would have been Ok. but here in the Uk cyclying is not a good idea

And you are comparing UK with Russia, India, Phillipines etc? They are from different league, it's like comparing Man United with Dagenham and Redbridge.
Do not live your life in fear.
