Fabulous drawings, I cant even draw a circle. I think there a couple of other important things that should be shown, motorcycles going the wrong way, little motor scooters with Mum, Dad and the five kids on it, (Dad wears the helmet because he's driving), people driving with either their baby or their dog on their lap, (obviously both lives have the same value) and lastly, buses full up and still stopping to pick p more passengers. This a great site and thanks so much for the entertainment. I’m a foreigner, well I’m English, and this is sooo true. Fabulous drawings, I cant even draw a circle.
