Re: S.U.Z.
The only place in the world (and I have visited many with nearly 1/4 century as an airliner!) which I have been where Chinese, Indians, French, British, Africans, Creoles, and other minorities live together in 99% (1% occasional bickering but nothing really "serious") racial and religious harmony and tolerance - achieved voluntarily, not by governmental suppression - is ?
Not a lot of British. We'd ruin it.

Already did - they drive on the left!!! Then there's the buses..
Last time I was on a bus - it was an old ("refurbished") Leyland single decker - same model I used to ride in back in the 50s in Torquay - and a conductor using those old ticket machines with a roll of paper and a handle on the side - turn and tear off the ticket - took me back more than a few years!!

Re: S.U.Z.
Now, where is a link Wellington to these SUZ zones? I'd be interested to read about areas of urban France with Sharia law where the police fear to tread.
On the Police Municipale... in one village I lived in during the 80s the local policeman who was at the time a Police Municipale had, until fairly recently, been called the Garde Champetre (Field Warden - fields with sheep in them that is). I remember asking someone what he was and they said he was a G.C. - what's that I asked, "a Grande Con" was the reply. I could but agree.

Re: S.U.Z.
Being in France you have to search ZUS not SUZ (ONU not UNO + ADN not DNA + OTAN not NATO, etc.)
if you want to find the French source!
