You'll then get the sniffer dogs growling at you while you're waiting for the ship to turn up and then the contents of your car turned out while they check your steering wheel for dynamite traces or drugs or whatever at the customs post. Welcome to the UK

Broadly true and, unfortunately, totally necessary these days; funny how times change but Mollydog is remembering the good old days when there was a balance of power in the world and everyone toed the line; now there are lots of folks out there who have no experience of that world and who demand their rights to rule the world by whatever means.
