Well... Britain has a unblemished track record when it comes to its immigration services. I mean, it’s not as if Britain tries to kick out the off spring of immigrants who have been born & raised in the UK... errr... oh wait...

U.S. authorities disputed the family’s version of events, saying they were spotted via video surveillance “slowly and deliberately driving through a ditch onto Boundary Road in Lynden, Washington” between parallel roadways on the U.S. and Canadian sides. The roads are not connected by cross streets, and the only legal way to traverse between the countries is at staffed border stations throughout the region.
:lol: there's that, too, I suppose.

I just had to look at their faces to know they were bullshitters



They look like Chavs to max
What's with the photo infront of what I discern to be an airport christmas tree.

Also, she looks like Ivanka Trump with a less expensive plastic surgeon.

Tbf I fcuked up one time heading northbound in that area. I figured there’d be a turnaround before you cross into Canada. We were in the area and thought it’d be cool to get close to Canada to see it. Not sure what we expected to see that’d be so different. Mounties? the barenaked ladies just hanging around? john candy?:houllier:

There was a turnaround but as we then headed back south I had to stop at a US border station. This was in mid 90s so not as bad as now but the US guy there was not amused and gave us a fair amount of shit for crossing accidentally.
Problem was my wife’s visa at the time didn’t allow her into Canada, or to leave the US.
The finer details are long forgotten but I remember her scowls :nervous:

I think they would probably be happy to be kicked out at the moment.

Because it's a one way road to the border and anyone turning around must be up to no good? There's a lot of visible and clear signage, so generally it shouldn't be missed but it does happen, mostly to tourists.
Ah ok, missed the part that it is a one way. Reminds me of the 805 highway leading directly to Tijuana , there are big ass signs but I guess people still miss them.

Yep, exactly like the one you describe. The assumption by border guards is if you turn around you're guilty of something.

that's because europeans are stupid and named them wrong

The elk or wapiti (Cervus canadensis) is one of the largest species within the deer family, Cervidae, and one of the largest terrestrial mammals in North America and Northeast Asia. This animal should not be confused with the still larger moose
