Well folks, the Ferret's back, been overseas for two months and got back last night.
Gotta tell yas, the Brits sure know how to behave on the roads, makes us Aussies look like selfish, ignorant, arogant, outside lane hugging, tailgating, inconsiderate, downright rude.............................................. ................I could go on, but you need to see the way they drive over there, we just aint got it!!
Hope you have all stayed safe while I was away.
Cheers, the ferret.

Well seeing as you asked, hows this?.
I was at a cemetery in England looking for ancestors' head stones, and spoke to the only person there, turned out he had the same surname as myself, then I was at a hotel sampling the beer and the bloke sitting next to me also had the same surname, I spoke to the girl behind the bar and she was going out with another bloke with the same surname.
So it looks like the old people had plenty of time on their hands lol.
Cheers, the ferret.

I know what you mean mate! I was born over there, never got to drive though except for when we go back on holidays. They have set speed limits for different types of roads i.e a dual carriage way is 70 mph and that's it no changing like on our roads 100kph then 90kph then 100kph then 80 kph it/s 70 mph all the way. Trucks are only allowed in the first two lanes the others are for cars only! People let you merge! People SAY THANKYOU! people move out of the fast lane, and there are only two toll roads that I know of.

Ha ha, I spose that could work too.
The bloke at the cemetery was only there to tidy his Grandads grave, by the end of the day, I was gobsmacked.
Had a similar experience searching for grave stones in Ireland and Scotland.

Spot on Mate, they have a great set up for sure, we Aussies should be taking a leaf from their book.

It is just as the ferret says mate , with less traffic....... Oh and the inability to use roundabouts correctly lol

My folks went to the Google Play Store and all they got me was this lousy Motorculture App!!!!!!!

Welcome back mate.
Hope was an enjoyable trip.


We Aussies know how to drive.
We like tailgating. Speeding. Lane splitting. Outside fast lane driving.
It's the others that can't drive. Lol
