When I first read that, I thought, "Wow, they're so conscientious about that over there that even their *imported* *wildlife* is willing to do the right thing."

Whinging? Is that a British word or a typo?

> ...they've managed to force the police to ensure that speed cameras are only erected at accident blackspots, have warning signs clearly signposted, and are themselves clearly visible. So far as I can tell, drivers are upset that the police are trying to catch them breaking the law, and want a fair chance to be allowed to speed.
