You guys are so lucky that you live in tiny countries like the USA and Canada. It makes it so much easier for you guys to meet up at the drop of a hat.
We have no chance of repeating that feat in Britain. Not only do we have a huge landmass to contend with, we also have various other natural and man-made barriers, preventing us from ever arranging anything similar here:
• We have a huge 20 ft wall running across the width of the country, causing a North-South divide. You need special vaccinations to get through checkpoints when heading North, and you need a very difficult to obtain visa, if heading South through this wall
• The North of the country is further split by a vast impassable mountain range, known as the Pennines
• People in London are self-sufficient and have everything they want within the boundaries of the M25. They are never allowed to leave, and the last time I checked, no one there has ever had the urge to leave anyways
• Birmingham and Bradford are self-contained demilitarised war zones. Escape is difficult, and entry is strictly restricted to military personnel and families of existing immigrants
• There are various shit-holes placed strategically throughout the country, making travel even more difficult because people feel it wise not to travel within a 50 mile radius of these places, in case they get overpowered by the toxic gases spewing from these shit-holes. These places include Luton, Liverpool, Sunderland, Glasgow, Rotherham, Derby, Dundee, Stoke, Wolverhampton, Milton Keynes, Swindon, and the whole of Wales.
Like I said, you guys in North America are lucky to be living where you are. If only meeting up with some of the wonderful people on this forum from Britain, had been as easy for us….
