Exactly 

The last time I was in the UK I was my wife was with me.  I sent from 1992 through 1998 at least two months a year in the UK so I had no issue driving on the "wrong side of the road."

I always had a manual and bottom line if I had anything larger than a compact manual - I would not been able to fit down some roads in Northern England.

In 2014 we went over and the idea of her driving on the left side of the road while shifting with her left hand instead of right was not appealing.  The idea that I drive all the time was not appealing to me.  So we rented the only car we could find from Hertz with an automatic.  It was a small Volvo.  But it was larger than the parking garages spots designed for Mini Coopers.  

We spent several days in the Cotswolds - finding parking in the small villages was a real treat not to mention the 1/2 lane wide roads in the Volvo.

The only good news about driving that tank around England was at least I did not have to drive all the time.
