I doubt he ever will now... And it really doesn't matter how well he'd do.. The Monarchy just aren't important enough.

I prefer spring and autumn, but they're simply too short here - we're lucky to get a month of each where I live. Summer's not bad so long as it doesn't get ridiculously hot and stays there. Last winter it didn't get too cold or snow, except one weekend.

😂 my mom told me about how she was in London when she was 16 and it snowed about 2 inches and the whole city more or less shut down. Which I really can't wrap my mind around because we need about 18 inches of snow here before you start really running into trouble.

That pretty much sums up Winter in England... if there is the slightest covering of snow there is hysteria and severe weather warnings telling people not to go out unless necessary.

Where do you live, Clovie?

A Scotland question:

Is it stereotypical to say that every Scotsman owns a kilt? Honest question.

See, that just REALLY amuses me. I suppose I'd have to spend some time during the winter in England to witness it before I could really believe that.

I thought that you might want to participate, and wanted to know, is all.

Are people in the U.K. afforded the opportunity to buy American vehicles? Or are there no American cars sold in the U.K.?

Prepare to be disappointed though, it's not mass hysteria or anything, but you'll see something on the news about it generally. You may see a couple of pensioners complaining too.

They're sold but no one buys them... US cars suck in compression to European & Japanese cars.

Are there a lot of accidents in Europe because of tourists who arent used to driving on the left side of the street while steering on the right side of the car?

I just want to see a city as large as London pretty much shut down from a few inches of snow 😛

Hell, I just want an excuse to go back to England ermm

Well, whatever floats your boat I guess... Wouldn't be one of my top holiday destinations.
