I visited the Botanic Garden in Oxford!
I also sat on the bench! It was so strange, walking where the book told you to go.

Maybe I could drive across the Atlantic when I get my license.

If you were a 16 year old blond in a short skirt, a minor detour of that nature probably wouldn't threaten your pass. However they would probably pick you up on it otherwise.

If you were 16 years old, you'd be too young to take the driving test anyway; blonde, knicker-flashing or not

at 15 and 1/2 you get your temps, but it's got a ton of restrictions, at 16 you can take your test at the dmv. then you get your lincence.
there more to it, but that's the basics.
Finally something america got right.

But would we allow them to drive in Oxford? However short their skirts?

i don't know how it is to rent a car in britain, but in north america, i believe you have to be 25 to rent a car.
but if you were driving say a friend's car, and you were driving perfectly, liscenced in one country or another and you were 15 1/2, and looked your age, but you were driving absolutely perfectly, would the police in britain stop you for underage driving?

Hmmm, I'm a bit tempted to go there, I suppose it could become a place of pilgrimage for HDM fans Although I expect I'll wait until I need to go to Oxford anyway - I'd also try in vain to locate the rough location of the window Will first went through to Citagazze

Well your Canadian/US lisence wouldn't be enough in the UK. If you want to drive in another country (or really economic region, because licences within the EU work wherever) you have to get some kind of permit, and I don't think our gov would grant it to anyone under 17 since thats the legal driving age. So you'd get done for driving without a valid licence.

you can get to most places in europe by train though I thought. Would it be tough to take a train then walk?

That isn't hard - the precise location is well-defined and those trees are immediately recognisable (they are close to PP's home after all). See my photograph^H^Hms on this site
You go straight up the Banbury Road until it meets the ring road, and they are immediately to the left.
