DOH!

I was looking at the picture trying to figure out where the pictures was taken ( I always do that) and I thought the it looked like our country......rain, the clothing of the folks and if the Jimmy had a tax disc and then I thought it can be the UK as you wouldn't get two beauties like this together in the UK :shock: :shock:

Whoops!
