That's a very American POV. Automatic transmission is rare in the UK - I can easily walk down a street and see 100% of cars have what y'all call a "stick shift". Plenty of drivers (including my parents) reject autos out of hand, and I've never driven one myself.

Yes, that's a very American thing, from what I can tell.

I don't think I've ever in my entire life seen a friend or family member own a car with automatic transmission.

By and large you can't tell a US from a Canadian vehicle without looking at the license plate.  Perhaps you meant to say "North American."

Do the Germans and Swedes put manual transmissions in their mid-size cars? 

BenRG:
The only automatics I've ever ridden in on British roads were a Bentley limousine and a Maserati sports coupe.

Oh, and public buses. All buses in London are automatics and have been since the 1980s at the most recent.

Yup; we already know she's a terrible liar.  I'd expect the rest of her emotional interactions to be equally transparent.

For a horrible little goblin, May's growing on me.

I'm just curious how many more times we need to be beaten over the head with "May is currently an unrepentant jerkass to everyone she meets" before her character arc, y'know, actually advances in any significant way.
