> UK is like Denmark, not perfect but you don't get that sense of failed state that you get crossing into Italy.

You and I have a different experience on potholes and trash in London.

- Trash are everywhere in inner London, because the regulations against IRA bin bombings are still in effect. This is a hotbed for rats.

- Potholes are that dangerous I've seen couple of accidents just because the cyclist had to do unexpected move or drive through-then fell.

- Many of the roads are although two-way, but actually no two vehicles can fit in the lane (no surface marking to separate the two lanes). Quite dangerous. On top of this, many two-way roads are narrowed to provide shorter crossing for pedestrians. Check the front-left wheels of the cars and you will see what this mean.




Well that's what I would call

> not perfect

They have potholes and narrow lanes, but I've seen potholes you could sleep in some places outside the UK.
