Oops. Once again I neglected to tell you I was going on holiday for a week sweatdrop
Oh yay. I spent my birthday in the Eden Project, then on a long haul car journey back to Bristol ¬.¬
At least I got a nice laptop~
@ Charlie: Haha! "despair.com"! xD
!! DASG...
@ B&B: It's good to learn manual, because then you can drive both! 3nodding (< failed attempt at being philosophical gonk )
And anyway, you're right, not many people drive automatics in the UK.
Over here, automatics are seen as something for old ladies who actually find it difficult to move the gears...
And even old ladies don't all drive automatics.

I kind of find it surprising that most of the cars in the UK are manual. Here in Australia it's the other way around. The majority of the cars (at least the new ones) tend to be automatic cars, whilst the manual cars are generally much more expensive and driven by skilled people. I think this is because Automatic cars are so easy to learn that even noob drivers won't have much problems getting used to them, whereas manual takes a lot of practice. The trade-off is that manual cars have much better handling than auto cars.
