If no one cares in England then knock yourselves out, but don't be surprised if you get jumped if you try it in America. Maybe, I don't know how big a deal it would be, but I don't imagine it would be appreciated. A lot of people would probably just be perplexed.

I blame Eric Clapton. I'm sure it was his version of the song that caught on and ended up becoming popular with the Brits.

I hope that building is abandoned.

I would hate to live in a building where a train would be going overhead at random hours throughout the day/night.

You would think with China's population density and poverty no structure could possibly be abandoned but it turns out not only singular buildings but entire cities as well. Weird public works projects, corruption, and human migration patterns.

It looks like the type of attack that jihadis have wanted to carry out in Britain - mainly attacking people with a vehicle and taking on the security forces with knives.
Yikes

I don't even want to start with the pattern of discourse that always follows.

Can't really prevent this stuff without more authoritarianism.
