if youre really moving somewhere thats kinda in the middle of nowhere - be the scenery as beautiful as somehow possible, youd still get insane being stuck there. and having to rely on friendly neighbours or the local bus to get you where you want to go (and the bus is always late anyway...)

I hope you wont fail the next test!

The guy from Japan is now back in england (permanently?). looking for work (any going... no seriously), congratulating you and sarah on the pregnancy, and letting you know that you're not the only person in the world to fail a driving test... or a second... or a third (I think but for some reason have erased the exact number from my mind).

if you have time send me a mail.

If it was in London, it might be a decent idea to re-take out in the countryside, where you're planning to live, just because it tends to be a bit less stressful. (Or if you have family outside London, take it there, and do a lot of practice driving.) Also, if you have a good instructor, you should:</p> <p>a) be doing the reverse-park over and over again at the test centre until it's more or less automatic; b) have nice little Tipp-Ex marks on the inside of the test vehicle to help you line things up!</p> Where did you take your test, Alaric?
