Heh. I go to Switzerland - to the *tourist* parts of Switzerland - and 
in all the years I've been going I've met *one* other person from 
England. (Not counting the people we brought with us.) Granted, I think 
there were quite a few people from other European countries (although 
it's kinda hard to tell). Just not from England.

But then, if you want to travel from France to Germany, you get on a 
road and start driving. Leaving England is a little more complex...

I don't have to understand their accents. ;-)

(Although... I think Warp is fairly intimidating, yes.)
