now we have those tiny narrow lanes and

6:06

actually all over England, especially in

6:08

the countryside. So these wire

6:10

pavements, what do they do here?

6:19

So, another one I've noticed which I

6:21

find very funny is that people wait at

6:25

traffic lights at the red even when

6:28

there are no cars coming. In the UK,

6:31

people will cross when there are cars

6:33

coming on a red light. But I like this

6:36

because it's a really good indicator for

6:39

children to not cross the road when

6:42

there maybe are cars coming, especially

6:45

quiet electric cars. Good lesson to be

6:48

learned.

>> They don't even walk when it's green.

6:51

>> It's green and they're not walking yet.

So unbelievably and quite annoyingly,

7:07

you're not able to take your dog into

7:09

the parks, especially in Berlin, which

7:12

is very, very annoying right at this

7:15

moment.
