As I thought: this is an overcrowded country. Anyone who says it isn't
doesn't drive on our motorways (f'rinstance).


That is more a measure of relative affluence and social expectations.
The population density of the UK is just 12% higher than it was in the
1960s, when I once travelled from London to Whipsnade along the M1
without meeting a single car going in the same direction.


Well start driving on the correct carriageway then.
