Thank you Being Me,
I would also (guess) never having been, that your roads are wider,straighter and less congested than ours.
I only drive 15miles to work but after the first few minutes of a relatively straight road, the rest is like a corkscrew and narrow with passing points (Mini laybys)and I only have to meet a tractor and that can add quite some time to my journey, not to mention cami cazi pheasants or sheep or cows and the odd dead badger in the road that I cannot run over. I have to get out and drag it to the side of the road but thats just me.
So a little sympathy whilst your laughing Walking.
