Very cold in winter.

Quite ludicrous about enforcing speed limits and road signs ("You crossed a white line there madam" "Yes, but there was no-one coming and there was a huge crater in the road I wanted to avoid" "I'm sorry madam but the law says you must not cross a white line..." (happened to a friend of mine).

I also remember seeing a documentary programme about problems with the Hell's Angels controlling an empire of drugs and prostitution....
