Wow, I can’t believe we only have one more week in London.
Time has flown so fast since we arrived. This week we visited the Mini Cooper
plant in Oxford which was amazing. I have really started to notice how many
Minis are on the road, particularly in downtown London. Space is really
limited, so I can see why a Mini would be attractive to so many car owners. Not
only is it fuel efficient, it is small enough to fit on the road. I am amazed
every time I see a bus that it does not hit other cars on the road or pedestrians.
I have already seen so many close counters between buses and cars going the
opposite direction on the road.
On Wednesday we went to the Royal Courts of Justice, which I
thought was intriguing. However, I was shocked that England allows double jeopardy.
When the guide first said this I thought for sure I misheard heard, but no. England
allows double jeopardy. I am still coming to terms with this, as it is hard to
fathom. I would say that this without a doubt is the biggest difference between
England and America’s justice system.
