Reminiscin' About Britain

In Britain, You have to flush the toilet more than twice before it goes
down -- as a general rule it seems. It then empties, no kidding, 20
gallons into the bowl and almost overflows. Also, as a general rule, you
have to pay a lot of money to use the laundromat. And then you wonder
where to buy laundry detergent and no one knows what you're talking about
until you say "washing powder." And as a general rule, the prices for
clothes at the Gap are the same numbers, but in pounds instead of dollars. And you have to imagine that pounds are dollars or you won't buy anything because it's so damn expensive.
And everyone looks Goth/Industrial (you know, with white face paint), but
it's just that the sun doesn't come out often. And boy, they talk dern
funny.
