    I'll go stand in the corner if I can get off this damned high horse I found myself atop. (Trust me, I was admonishing myself as much as anyone else.)
    Pish-posh, my hypocrisy probably runs deeper.. I feel you and we all have those days where someone says something that creeps under our skin. I might have had one of those yesterday, in some thread about refugees...

    As for Brits commenting about Chicago...I mean they have plenty to work with...

    Based on watching many, many episodes of Top Gear (the good, i.e., Jezza, Hamster and Captain Slow, years) most Londoners seem to be driving Fiat 500s, s a Ford Fiesta -- and Mrs. Drang has one in the same Zombie Apocalypse green as the one which Jezza used in that amphibious assault by the Royal Marines -- is about average, if not slightly on the large size.

    This is true. The typical car in the UK, not just London, is pretty small compared to what we'd drive around normally. Every time I caught a ride with a coworker over there (I've been 3 times and am going again in Sept), the cars were small hatchbacks.

    Yeah, it’s pretty ridiculous how large our vehicles are by general comparison. Cramped urban areas and tiny roads making owning something like a full sized pickup in 2018 somewhat comical over there.

    The roads even in the less crowded towns are tiny. Some that have two lanes officially are closer to one lane and folks have to take turns passing in opposite directions.

    And the hedgerows! It's like driving in a maze.
