Fark me! You've gotta be kidding!

I think too many people are driving whilst still juiced up on meth or whatever...

 

[Love..rda]

Often the sticker "baby on board" has to be referred to the driver...

 

[Tippie]

"Temper tantrum on board" sticker.

When travelling between Europe and UK in recent years, a couple of things strike me on leaving the ferry UK side.
-Road verges covered in litter
-Traffic congestion
-Aggressive driving; often it seems out of anger/frustration

I think they’re all symptoms of the malaise UK is presently going through.

There's a lot of cocaine usage and other lab produced drugs in the UK, so you never know whether someone is tanked up, but I found as a professional driver, ignoring them is the best and safest practice if they are driving aggressively.

Yes, they are off their heads a lot of the time. Best to get them away from you by any means possible especially if you are on a bike. I drive a scruffy little Citroen C2 most of the time and I can tell you these people do not like it if you bruise their egos when they are in their big cars.

Give everybody Trabants against ten years' salary and get on with it.
Quite enough of these rich nobs with big German cars.

We're not that daft Paul, we move to warm places.

England has become a warm place.
I'd stay.

Prices for 10 year old Big German cars are very reasonable here. That's another weakness I have along with American and Aussie vehicles!

Shitloads of the buggers rock up here. Ten pound Poms, that’s what we call em.

I don’t think boat rides from Finland were free in 1910.

 

[Andy J]

Well isn’t about time you went home then to help scare off the ruskies..

Speaking to a local in a bar in Felixstowe in 2009 he reckoned the poms stuffed up, he said they should have gone to Australia and left dreary old England the the convicts
