That's a hyperlocal issue. Here, for instance, we have no mass transit...at least not in any meaningful, cohesive manner. We also don't have a ULEV!
Not sure I agree - also not sure exactly where "Here" is, or what a ULEV is.
For me, at the time, this was totally a language issue. I interpreted path to mean "footpath", which I think is how most people from the UK would interpret it - whereas in NY it had a specific meaning, and I think in many other parts of the US it just wouldn't have been used at all.
Hyperlocal, as in PATH, BART, MARTA, etc. Different cities/regions have specific acronym-laden labels for their people-movers.
"Here" is not NYC, or the Bay Area...the New South. It's CATS here, and it's Not Great.
Also, please, sir, accept my sincere apologies for mistyping "ULEZ." Will fix my post, above, with your indulgence, sir.
I had heard that Brits had a more sophisticated sense of humor than we savages...
Not sure there's any need for that level of sarcasm. I had absolutely ZERO idea that you meant ULEZ - it's not something that's in the forefront of my thinking.

Beyond pub food, what would you say is the UK's most notable contribution to global cuisine?
You can also walk out at the drop of that very same hat. Horses for courses

I've been self employed all my life so that's how my job has been but if I were employed I'd much rather it be in the UK where I'd at least get a redundancy payment if they decided my face didn't fit anymore
French toast?Eggy bread..... Its not French/Roman/American "French Bread", its Eggy Bread and its British.....
I realise that's how it's supposed to work but if they want you gone they'll find a way, I know a guy who got made redundant because his face no longer fitted, the new manager just didn't like him because he told him how it was which wasn't what he wanted to hear.That's really not how it works in the UK.
