I did some research into the United Arab Emirates and it seems I have many misconceptions about this place. Now I want a holiday!

Putney has long been famous as a crossing point for the Thames. Mentioned in The Doomesday Book of 1086 at Putelei, a ferry was already in place and continued to be so until the building of a permanent bridge. It would seem that many people would have been grateful for car hire in Putney if it had been available at the time, meaning they would not have been held to ransom with the drinking habits of the ferryman!
