hi,
did not have time to read all pages, so sorry if repeating- is not it lovely to drive a car in UK!!!! eveyone is so nice and polite, give you way all the time and i well take the offer,
English being generally very very polite, can be a bit rasists, when they know you are not English, again, i would strengthen, not many, but a few....when they say say: "say again" after everything you say...
