Oregon

We have flown west, put the clocks back another two hours and are having time to ourselves. The Head of Finance has been so sociable for the last ten days that he is quite done in. He enjoyed an extended time of silence at the wheel of a car today to recuperate. If you get out your atlas, or use GoogleEarth, you can see Corvallis where we are spending the night. The HoF has spotted these differences in America:-
All have syphon toilets and hence need large plungers for unblocking.
No-one drives diesel cars
Toll roads where you have to get off and pay at each interchange unless you are a local with an electronic sensor in the car
You can turn right at a red light
Most of the women wear trousers all the time
No-one has an electric kettle
Lots of people hang on to big old cars
Light switches, electric plugs and hairdryers are permitted in bathrooms
Service operatives, waitresses, station personnel are very articulate and polite
They do not all have enormous beds
