That sounds very much how things are here in Bath. Amazon people don't seem excessively busy, and manage to park without killing anyone, which is relatively impressive as parking round here is a nightmate at the best of times.

I'm increasingly convinced that there's an effect of how US stories are reported and then spread that amplifies negativities, possibly to do with the size of population with a common language, it's easy to come up with enough anedotes to make something seem like a big problem. The spate of vaping related issues is a good example. The number of cases is tiny as a proportion of vapers, but sounds big when talked about in absolute numbes.
