well...I noticed you live on the other side of the pond...I've heard from close sources that things are different over there. A friend told me she came out of a store in London, and almost walked into a pony parade. The hard part was she was there with a school group for classes, and had to play dumb along with the rest of them haha. So yeah, things are different over there...try walking down the street leading someone on a leash here...you'll both be wearing cuffs in a few minutes.
