1) The Archers is a moment of boredom in a world full of excitement and interesting times. Despite omnipresent commercial pressures, despite the UK as a country reinventing itself repeatedly, it somehow continues regardless. It's actually kind of incredible that it exists :D 2) I'm not really sure it's possible to distinguish UK political parties, as they all seem to have the same basic agenda. Someone somewhere once said, you get the government that you deserve.
I failed my driving test three times before I finally passed, and was a little bit crushed each time. A certain person I know doesn't have a driving license after four attempts, despite being otherwise a very accomplished person. I think the driving test may be a little bit too hard...
My problem with The Archers is that awful so-called theme music. I've never actually listened to more of it than I could hear before I reached the radio's off switch.
Actually, I never even got anywhere near to the stage where I'd consider booking a driver test before I realised I ought to give up - the theory was easy, the practise hopeless - I went from progressing very slowly to not progressing at all. One side effect is that when I'm walking or cycling, I am now even more afraid of cars, even though I logically know that most people aren't as bad at driving as I was.
Once upon a time, the UK had three parties: Labour (left), Libdems (left) Tories (far right). Now you have three: Labour (right), Libdems (right), Tories (extreme right).
I read that they're now privatising the police force. Could someone send them a copy of Robocop? No wait, scratch that, they wouldn't see it as a dystopian warning, they'd order ED-209s from the Americans.
