Heh. I played with it a bit. I don't know if it would be more useful to someone from a culture less like that in the UK, but I found their choice of information to range from amusing (kissing is legal in public) to mildly off-topic and nannying (drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day) to wishful thinking (having nearly been run down by bicycles on the pavement, I have to think the illegality of this is far outweighed by the unlikelihood of prosecution).

I'm always willing to play with Flash dinguses, though.

A girl I used to work with nearly got a caution for cycling on the pavement.  It is illegal but many foreign students don't realize that.  I have loads of stuff I'd like to add to that since a big part of my job is waiting on international students and there's a lot of cultural differences that get on my nerves.

I got a warning for it in the States, when I was six. First I knew it was illegal. From my experience, people do it pretty freely in both countries.
