We have made some terrible international tourism adds in the past.

I think there's been a new one since but it's basically the same song.

Any and all adverts encouraging tourists to visit Wales / Scotland / Ireland.
I've been to Cardiff, it's not Skyrim.

Racist.

Hmm well it doesn't make me want to go and explore the country. Maybe it has a different effect if you don't live here. It's a bit corny but we have made worse over the years. At least there is no sign of Paul Hogan having a BBQ.

Nope.

I just like the song, really.

Australia's just too far away, and I'm too lazy. And it has scary things in it.

Russell Crowe?

Yep.

I think we gave Russell Crowe back to New Zealand.
As for the other scary things, just don't try poking them and you'll be fine.

We got scary things here, too. Weil's disease kills about 3 a year in Britain, compared to 1 shark attack plus 1 croc attack fatality in Oz; and on average zero spider and snake deaths (because of the antivenom).

I don't care how many people actually die of arachnids. I care about knowing HUGE ones are around everywhere and living my life in daily terror.

Whereas rat's pissing in the water supply doesn't bother you?

Not as much as arachnids, no.

That's when you grab your shoe, preferably a thong (flip flop to you) and give them a good whack! Bye Bye spidey. This also works for cockroaches.

I would if I could get close enough to them without dying from fear.
I am pathetic. :)
