    Is that supposed to be a general UK accent (type of thing), because it does border on a Yorkshire accent. Crap if it meant general UK.

    Do you just watch Geoff Boycott videos in US or something to pick up an idea like that?
    Such is life.

    British people sound like the orcs from Lord of The Rings (two towers, scene where the orcs who captured the hobbits stop for a "breather"). Honest.

    >>> Geoff Boycott videos in US

    Can you picture an American watching a Geoff Boycott video?!

    Nope!. At least not with any understanding anyway.

    Adrian is right about the museums.... the science museum is the best of the lot. A lot of exhibits that offer some sort of user interaction.

    And yeah our petrol prices suck ass. Taxation on fuel is ridiculous here. Buy a bike.
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
