Glad I work over here

Trust me Walloper it is the same Sh!t3 that a MULE has to undergo as part of the job regardless of where they get their wages.

In particular, stroke city ( London / Derry ) the rule of law and order is a novelty to some of its citizens and the old MULE has to play it by ear. It will take time to change this attitude.
