hey... well i live where time begins in greenwich, or 5 mins south of...

Im a 5 min drive from Greenwich
Canada Water tube station is in Rotherhithe, im on the oposite side of the river from Canary Wharf. so not far at all

Im the clinical manager for an occupational health company (medicals & drug screening for the railways)

trust me the some of the pom drivers are the worst i have come across, indicators are optional extras over here and what is a speed limit, its nothing for them to do 160 km/h on the motor way and flash their high beems and bash the horn at you to get out of the slow lane so they can get past all while the other 2 lanes are empty hahahahahahaha
its an experience

sounds like Indonesia, that place is scary, no idea why they even have lines on the road

yep can say i have witnessed the driving in indo, and your exactly right they dont use the lines on the road so why are they even there???
as for UK drivers, i went on an adventure to Cambridge where drivers will beep at you when your going around a roundabout for no reason, like a 'get outa my way beep' it is crazy, indicators??? do cars even have them, cant say i have seem them being used, there is no hesitation for a driver to run you over....

I know where Canary Wharf is, I love that place, I'm actually looking at a unit to rent in that area so I might just run into you some time :)

i have never been hit by another car in Sydney (been lucky i guess)
I have had my new astra now for 4 months and have been hit 3 times, only minor but 3 times in 4 months, the last time was in Catford 3 weeks ago and it was a double lane and both lanes turned left, the car on the inside of me forgot to turn when he should have and hit my rear passanger door and quickly took off in the traffic, only a small dent in the rear wheel arch no paint missing but enough to upset you when the car is new.

Canary Wharf is a great place, visit the cinemas alot in West India Quays.
you may just run into me, that you never know
