American addresses and streets - everything is horribly planned and laid out in dead straight lines everywhere. Hence you have ridiculously long streets with stupid numbers of buildings on them.

Isn't Milton Keynes similar, just with roundabouts to split things up a bit? It's quite unattractive imo, imagine riding on those kinds of roads. Confused

The things which amused me most were the charges of "aggravated fleeing". It reminded me of Monty Python - "Run away, run away!" Laughing

And the moral of the story is after a few highly dangerous police chases don't go home and wash the car,take the dog out for a walk instead.

Not absolute. Perhaps if I'd said that 'it appears that almost all' then it'd be more true.

Ho ho.

Since when is having everything organized and in a straight line horrible? I assume you prefer twisted streets with names alternating at random and frequent intervals? Ask the postman which way he'd prefer. Rolling Eyes

I'm not a postman and my bike doesn't go very fast in straight lines. Straight lines are bad in my book. Smile
