Gosh, yes the driving here is far better than the place I left! People let you into lines of traffic, there is around 80% less tailgating, people pull over and share the road (especially down in Devon and Cornwall LOL) where the roads aren't wide enough for two and in general I don't see them honing too fast along suburban streets like the hounds of hell are after them. Hmm, thinking about it, I haven't seen any doughnut marks anywhere whereas there would be one on more intersections than not where I used to live! And I do need to say that I lived in a nice middle class suburb in a nice middle class town, not slum central.

However, the car park spaces are too narrow for the modern day motor car!

It's the sheer volume of traffic on the roads that stresses me out about UK driving.

Having said that it's nice to drive on roads that have bends in them. I feel I am actually driving instead of just sitting behind a wheel on a straight line from A to B.

The major thing I have noticed is the courtesy on the roads, it is so refreshing.

We are also lucky where we are that the volume of traffic is low as well.

The parking spaces could certainly be bigger, because we were out in the suburbs the spaces were big but right in Brisbane if I parked our people mover it was sometimes difficult to get out as the spaces were small.

Absolutely. Or they can be put around rhodos and other acid loving plants. Also, it's not muddy like pressed coffee. I don't like that.

You can easily pick one up on your next trip to the States.

Yes, though ours is a 10 cup jug and a brown plastic filter. No plug in. Just pour in water from a kettle.
