Things are different here...

[Mick Ohrberg]

Not to mention that they speck Cockney (in London), drive on the wrong darn side of the road, have 
*VERY* sour Salt&Vinegar chips, call their fries 'chips', make the best fish&chips in the world, 
have taxi's with some very strange steering mechanism that make them able to steer around objects 
like nothing else, made some of the best TV shows in the history of mankind (Red Dwarf, The Young 
Ones, HHGTTG, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python)... The list goes on! It is certainly different.

| Things are different in England.

| For one thing, there's the keyboard.  Left shift key is too 
| short, and has the 
| pipe/backslash right next to it.  @ is with single-quote, down by 
| L, along 
| with ~#.  Right-alt doesn't usually work.
| 
| The plumbing is different too.  We're not in one of those quaint cottages 
| where the drains run down the outside wall, but it still seems 
| primitive.  The 
| toilets have these great deep bowls, and when you flush it feels 
| like you're 
| pumping the water up a well.  To take a shower, first you pull 
| the ceiling 
| chain next to the stall to turn on the heater.  Then you turn the 
| dial on the 
| heater counter-clockwise to open the valve, and further 
| counter-clockwise is 
| cooler, back towards off is warmer.
| 
| Need to track down the local interest groups and see what's what over her.
