Assens town centre and old Mill, now a kindergarten. This is mid morning, not a lot of traffic and people easily moving around.

House of Lords, despite it's statuts has saved the country from many draconian bills. Once you elect them, they stop being independent, start being whipped, start being part of the government of the day.
