Mark Tully thinks about how Britain and India differ.

Mark Tully thinks about how Britain and India differ and what they could learn from each other.

A trip back home to Britain gives veteran India correspondent Mark Tully the chance to think about how the two countries differ, in their attitudes towards the law and time-keeping, not to mention the way the trains run. 

He compares what he views as the heavy-handed nanny state of his native country with the more relaxed style of his adopted one. Mark suggests that Britain and India could actually learn quite a bit from each other.
