I listen to a lot of Brit documentaries. I love listening
to brits struggle with pronouncing "Glacier" and "Controversy",
especially Stevie (Steven Fry) and Simon Whistler. Same
word, sound way, way different.

Funny, our two resident Brit troll, ooops, friends (now
you have me doing it) have not chimed in.


Perhaps they're afraid I have a gun.


... and you drive on the right side of the road.

18 Countries/Nations drive on the left.

Australia
Caribbean Islands*
Channel Islands
Cyprus
Japan
Hong Kong
India
Isle of Man
Ireland
Jamaica
Kenya
Malta
Malaysia
New Zealand
South Africa
Singapore
Thailand
UK


A good reason to leave the EU before they make us drive on the right, use the same mains plugs as them, convert road signs into km, etc, etc.
