WIX can expect a steep increase in British and other European visitors over the next few days as they suffer the withdrawal symptoms of the situation at KP forums smiles:

Remember they drive on the left side of the road ( which IS the right side!), their cars have bonnets not hoods, boots not trunks, they spend pounds not weigh them, they had a bigger gallon but use litres, and think Spitfires are the best aircraft in the world!

Other than that they speak english sorta strange, but are a nice lot generally, please make any new comers welcome

At least Flypaste gave you a heads up this time around. :roll:

Coupla' quid on the bar will save you a seat.

Hands off me missus and everything should run smoothly.

Oh yeah: Round motor guys get the indoor plumbing. Glycol-leaking Merlin fans will have to leak glycol out back.

Now, what'll it be? :drinkers:
