I met an Australian couple last year who arrived at Heathrow and hired a car, they spent 3 day's sightseeing in London before traveling around the country,and when they returned the car 2 week's later were met with a Ā£1600 ( $2584 ) bill for traffic violation's,they were really pissed off and were going to tell all their friend's never to go to London,good for tourism eh,
Nothing personal, but I don't know how you put up with that shit. That and all the cameras, now the cops over there are doing warrantless searches for guns. Was it even that bad under the king? The citizens there are like Farm AnimalsĀ®. I am so glad I don't live in NY anymore. Doesn't anyone get sick of it?
