Apparently Blair and Prescott have decided that the UK should come in line with the rest of Europe and drive on the left. Prescott has decided to phase this in with LGV's starting on the 1st July and the rest of us on the 1st August

Funnily enough there is a real compaign for this backed by a fairly famous old politician (can't remember who) he was arguing we should convert in time for the olympic games to show we were proper europeans.
Apparently it would be 'just' a couple of billion to change the signs !
Except for - what about the road junctions and the fact that my steering wheel wuld be in the wrong place.
Complete b*ll*cks - spend the money on hospitals and schools
