The police will prevent the crime of speeding for good by nabbing them

harm. Warning them is obstruction, pure and simple.

No, they will nab them enough times to make them buy a satnav with a speed camera database - or at least that's what happened to me.

If you drive in France with it turned on, you will get fined for that.

I have done, and they stole it. But that was a radar detector only. A satnav is for navigation you see....

I have the speed camera option turned on when I am abroad, but I tend
to avoid France anyway - too predictable and boring.

The traffic? The scenery? The people?


All three.

They drive better than us, they are more polite and pay more attention.

The scenery is way nicer than the UK.

The people are much friendlier, especially in rural areas.

Those giraffes you sold me, they won't mate.
They just walk around, eating, and not mating.
You sold me queer giraffes! I want my money back!

It will be the restaurants and dining out.

Mason likes a nice Vindaloo and a large larger when he is on holiday - makes
him think of home. Can't stand foreign muck.

I must admit their cheeses are a little odd.

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight, and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.

Going to France is too common, my favourite country is Romania.
It has all the beauty of France but has not been spoiled by excessive
tourism.
The languages are very similar as well.

Thanks - might go there sometime.

Going to France is too common,

And there is no ferry to it from Hull.

Despite that, you might still be able to get Hofmeister and a vindaloo there.

Vindaloo sux.

I think car alarms should be set of explode after two minutes.
That way, we either take out a car thief, or deprive a noise-polluting jerk of his wheels.

Let me get this straight, you think I would be arrested for preventing a
