Is this some sick twisted attempt at humour?

Ok, every morning there is a traffic jam on this road

Normally not severe, but for these few miles 20mph really is the max speed. If you're lucky. You will NEVER go faster than 30mph.

Let me repeat that NEVER faster than 30mph. It is like this for 2 hours.

The speed limit is 40mph.


SOOOOOO nice little policeman with his speed camera - what are you DOING?

Is this some kind of sick joke? Do you come here to taunt us with the promise of speed even though we all KNOW it is impossible?

Do you relish in our mounting frustration just coming to a head at the sight of that camera?

Are you righteously perpared to catch the motorist with the world's first flying car?

Has some mad bureaucrat who is flown everywhere in his private jet and never seen a traffic jam force this upon you? And if so, why have you not killed him?

Is there some other reason you are UTTERLY wasting your time on this?

Or do you need some quality haddock time?

what exactly makes up a cucumber sandwich? I get that there are cucumbers, and probably bread in them. what else? heck, I just tried sardines on crackers for the first time a couple of weeks ago. been meaning to do that ever since I tried the Turkish Delight from last year. the only experience I have with british culinary tastes are from books, unfortunately.

Butter. Sometimes salt. That's pretty much it however.

Very THINLY sliced bread. A thin scrape of butter. Thinly sliced cucumber. And it is EXTREMELY dainty and posh :)

Ah, one thing that must be banned from all books is the concept of cream in tea - I have read 3 books now that say that is a British taste *yuck*

British food tends to be big and stodgy and gorgeous - like steak and kidney puddings and stews and dumplings and lovely suet everywhere :)
