The UK is so diverse because we once had an empire that included many other places all over the world. We have a large Indian community who naturally brought their cuisine with them so hence all the curry houses and the British liking for Indian foods We also have migrants from all over Europe thanks to our membership of the EU. All of these people have also brought their cuisine with them

If you live in the country, or even in a city, most people have a decent size garden.

You've got to be careful with "flashing" though for three reasons: 1. If you flash your lights to allow someone to make a turn and it's *not* safe to go, you may cause the driver to have an accident - easily done. 2. If someone flashes to let you out, you've got to have the willpower to decline and just sit and wait: The *onus* is on you to judge whether it is safe to go or not, so don't be bullied into it. 3. "Flash for cash" scams: This is a scam where a driver flashes his lights several times and honks his horn to get you to pull out, and then deliberately drives into you; he can claim that you caused the accident by pulling out on him.

Nothing to do with being green. European roads have always been tighter and twistier than in the US, so European cars were always smaller than in America. This is not a new thing - just look at the Austin 7 of the 1920s or the FIAT Topolino of the 1940s/50s. Fuel has also been more heavilly taxed in Europe compared to the US, so smaller more economical engines were always favoured by European manufacturers. Smaller cars in Europe are a result of economics, practicallity and, only in more recent years, environmental considerations.
