Can't deny that Dave ( not that I was here mind you hahaha). Every visitor has a sell by date I guess. You were glad to see the back of the British a while ago too

The prospect of a horde of Romanians arriving here after 1/1/14 if enough to make me ask if you guys would like a holiday here... we'll pay ( we do for everyone else)
Fancy that?
An English welcome, lovely pies, beer, football, driving on the correct side of the road, manual gearboxes... the advantages are endless.....

Now that's mighty freindly of you, switching to the correct side of the road just for us!
Though I have to say that a right-hand drive car here in the U.S. is mighty conveniant when you pull up to the curb and step right out onto the sidewalk...

We are friendly here.... pause while I listen for coughing and sputtering across the Atlantic....no, America must be asleep
You are always welcome...just leave the cars the size of Texas at home if you don't mind.

I say old boy! We could even teach them English, and how to talk properly, and spell words correctly whilst they're here. In return, they could explain to us why Petrol is a sixth of the price in the USA.

?..In return, they could explain to us why Petrol is a sixth of the price in the USA.

That's because of that ridiculous metric nonsense...

We pay 3 1/5 dollars per gallon and they figured they could BS you guys into paying 3 1/5 euro/pounds/whatever per liter..."it's close to the same size" they said....they just didn't realize you folks would catch on before it was too late...

Absolutely old bean. They popped over in 1917 for some preliminary English lessons, found it rather hard and went home. Term 2 opened for new pupils in 1942 with a 3 year intensive language course.... regrettably most failed but, full marks for effort and loyalty.
Petrol a sixth of our £1.42 p per litre? We had 'North Sea oil' what happened to that?... oh yes, the lovely Thatcher sold it all.

Er yes, we were well done with part decimalisation. Absolute nonsense to buy fuel in litres and work out a cars MPG.....

Oh so now we have you Brits bashing us Colonials???? I will have you know.....

A Map of Countries of the World and their driving habits! Hey England! Get with the program!!

[Gnomey]

Well here in the UK blue is better than red, it's only you Yank's that have it the wrong way around...

 

[meatloaf109]

I was going to stay out of this one, so,...Umm,
Yep, I will stay out of this one!

I didn't know they drove on the right in Greenland. Does it matter?

 

[Airframes]

Only on Tuesdays and Fidays when, for the benefit of tourists from nations where they drive on the opposite side of the road, the Government of Greenland change the orientation to match. It's a b*gg*r when you forget what day it is .......

 

[Readie]

We invented which side of the road to drive on, the best railway track gauge and a variety of other things that some colonials, like most children, felt compelled to do the opposite of their parents.
If you are happy to drive on the wrong side of the road then that is up to you
Nevertheless, our invitation stands, and all prodigal colonies are welcome here. Please pop over to say 'hello', sample our delights and join in the great British art of taking the piss...

Yeah, when someone has indecision about which side of the road to drive on, it can get a little interesting. I sort of went through that here recently :LOL:

 

[Lucky13]

I've always thought that as long as you drive on the road, it's the right side, it's when you drive off the road, when you drive on wrong side.....eerrrmmmm......let me rephrase that a touch, on the road=right side of the road, on the side of the aforementioned cow path=wrong side of the road, yes?

 

[Readie]

Jan, I am slightly concerned ( only very slightly old boy) that your Swedish sideways driving techiques are likely to cause a great loss of life property
Just as well Terrance, bless his cotton socks, lives inbetween you in bonny Scotland and beautiful Plymouth....

 

[gumbyk]

But, the left side is the right side to drive on!

Shhh... you'l only confuse the Americans even more

 

[Wayne Little]

isn't the steering wheel in the wrong place too....

 

[Gnomey]

Everything is seemingly in the wrong place...
