    Neith do I but would not go to the cess pit of Winter holiday destinations again to risk life and limb there - plenty of nicer hot places to spend the Winter.

    I take it you don't like the sub-continent then?

    Anyway what is life without a little life risking?
    (Longer of course but F***ing boring)

    Out of interest were you attacked by armed hoards in India or just crossed the road?

    It's my post so ignore it then.

    As I said in my original post

    where many (not all) of the inhabitants are very grumpy and lack a sense of humour,

    oh, I could tell you were trying to be humourous...
    you're not
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....
  • UPDATE

    Near to Calais, despite thick fog, found hotel, and corkscrew.

    To misquote a famous headline 'Continent (almost) cut off by fog'

    Had second puncture of trip within 2km of 1st puncture some time ago
    when heading south when we arrived from Dover. (Mmmmm)
    Am so much looking forward to meeting my first English tyre fitter in the morning!!!! doing a job that I can do at home for zilch - the perfect way to start the week.

    Karma gets them every time :rotfl:
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
  • Wales.

    I've always had Wales down as a miserable place.Quite the unfriendliest people I've come across in all my travels around the British Isles.

    I inevitably breath a sigh of relief when I drive out of Wales over the Severn Bridge and see that sign which reads " Welcome to England. "

    I think that's probably why the best thing ever to come out of Wales is the M4.

    Awaiting incoming flak from across the Severn Estuary - although many may suggest you have a point!:)

    LOL Bob, buy some wellies, a barbour jacket, a wooly jumper and some plus 4's (DO NOT PACK FLIPFLOPS) plan long solitary walks that end in a pub with a roaring log fire and a roast dinner, borrow a labrador. Once in pub sit in the corner with the times crossword and quaff some real ale, and only talk to or through the dog, problem solved.

    In a 55cm x 40cm x 20cm hand case? the labrador would definitely give you one of those looks when his tail got stuck in the zip
  • Arrived in UK, worse case scenario confirmed, not seen a single smiling face
    through the mist and rain, (Especially on M4 heading West).
