You're telling me you'd spend it on some caravan or shit hotel somewhere in UK with overpriced shitty food and pissing down rain. Coming all this way to see stonehenge or eating fish and chips on Blackpool prom. Nothing wrong with the above but surely they must think wtf. You think folk are coming over here and staying in a butlins? I also believe you've never stayed in a nice hotel. Try one of the pigs - stunning. Quote

As I say, you either are pretty ignorant about this country and you've never stayed in a lovely boutique hotel, or you're on a wind up. Quote

Not in Crawley Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 And we wonder why we don't actually know our own history in this country. A wall....fucking hell. Quote

Today I arrived back from staying here. Nothing out of this world and not a hotel but to me was perfect for our stay. https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/20629509?adults=6&children=1&check_in=2023-10-28&check_out=2023-11-04&source_impression_id=p3_1673010107_Ms3BWtj2OOW10COb&_set_bev_on_new_domain=1673344331_ZmM5ZDdlYWVkNWU5 Better then any fancy hotel in the Cotswolds or a dip in the Scarborough sea.

Obviously it’s hit and miss with the weather but there’s plenty to do and see. Best country in the world All those places are ace. But it’s really not. I’d move to Bolty’s gaff in a heartbeat. Other side of the country, obviously. Or France but I’d have to learn the lingo. We don’t t really have earthquakes though so that’s a bonus. Quote

The weather, food, drink, cultures, landscapes etc. But most importantly to me is meeting the people from that country. Makes me think why the fuck do tourists come to UK. I get going to see the London Landmarks etc but that's it. Why would anyone fly to see any other UK city? Weather is shite. Food is mostly shite and a ripoff. The good food, if you can find some isn't British and the general public are cunts. Why would anyone spend their hard earned cash on a trip here and the return saying they had a good time. Bet most can't wait to get home. (My opinion ... don't ask me to prove it) Which countries have you found the people to be most to your liking? And are you basing it entirely on bar staff? Quote

Seen 4 snakes, two of which were dead. A number of redbacks but they can only make you a bit sickly and the antivenom readily available. My (mad) brother catches funnel webs over in NSW as they pay you something like $50 each. They need them to make the antivenom. Those bastards can kill you and have a habit of lurking under leaves in your garden. Moral of the story, don't go to NSW. Queensland neither unless you are fond of humidity and yee-har rednecks. All of the others are great but stay there matey. Your country needs you. Quote

Talked to a Spanish waiter maybe a couple of times. Chest swelling with pride as he slurred on about Britannia ruling the waves and how we once sank their ships. I imagine true English culture would bore him stiff. “Once you’ve seen one castle you’ve fuckin seen ‘em all. Where’s the pub?!?!?” Quote
