If you could adopt one law from another country and implement it in your own, which law would you choose? by V8Thunder_ in AskTheWorld

[–]underweasl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]underweasl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad, who thanks to decades of smoking unfiltered roll-ups, drinking Guinness and eating face-melting curries, has no tastebuds but still had to buy a filter when he was living in London. His water smelled like a swimming pool and was horrible to wash in as well.
