I'd say in the UK we have the best range and choice of chocolate, crisps and biscuits in the world.

LOL.
I will not try to make some colourful insult back at you. You guys do it very well themselves 
This thread included.
Nope, making (dark) chocolate is one of the very few things we excel in. That and making Black Balsam, a strong alcoholic drink, slightly similar to Bénédictine. And, of course, blowing up our economics and then crawling on our knees before the IMF and the EU. And Swedish banks.
But of course this is subjective. I doubt you'll ever meet a Czech person who would claim somebody else makes a better beer than they do.

The Czech's are also leading Europe when it comes to cheap sex tourism. Whatever had happened in Prague before mens' "don't tell the wife" tours? Absolutely nothing! Well done those industrious 'new-money' capitalists. It's what the EU is for.

Really?
I thought it was us who are called the "EU's Thailand"...
My dad lived in Prague for a couple of years. That was about 10 years ago now and he still misses the beer.
A group representing Canadian prostitutes are currently challenging our countries prostitution laws.
Technically prostitution is legal in Canada but having a permanent address to do it in is not. Thus they have to hit the streets and they say this goes against the Canadian charter of right and freedoms for 'liberty and safety'.
So I guess we might end up being the North American version soon.

Why don't they get around the ruling and start using a Mobile Brothel, akin to a Mobile Library?
My father was propositioned by a hooker on Yonge Street in Toronto when we were there for a weekend getaway. She looked like she came right out of central casting.

Yeah but everyone always loses their library card so it's pointless giving out prozzy cards to people, too much paperwork Tim.

It's a very strange experience being propositioned by a hooker - Magaluf is hells waiting room...
I suppose so, you'd also get people trying to take out two prossies on only one ticket. I haven't thought this through.

You sir are a genius. Marketing it will be the hard part. Bangbus hasn't already been taken eh?

Eeesh! Yea I lived in Montreal Road in Ottawa for years and seeing nasty prostitutes and women with Adam's apples was a regular thing.

The loan manager said the same thing.

It's even worse when you get mistaken for one. Especially when you're waiting under some arches in the East End at night after a fashion show, in your rather nice get up, and the crack addled girl working the same street is giving you the evils, cars are slowing stopping, you know her pimp's on his way and you're looking out for your lift to arrive.

Sooooo no kissing on the lips then?
The woman who offered it to me was very young, slim and clearly on a coke habit, I seriously don't see what men get from hiring a whore for the evening... I cannot fathom it.
