Well believe it or not, it is actually possible to have a barbecue in the UK. In fact the 2 best barbecues I've ever had in my life were in England. One was on a lovely sunny day, the other was on a day when it was snowing. Both barbecues were proper charcoal ones, not gas ovens masquerading as barbecues.

To take the "Tourist Drive" you just follow the signs, and keep on following them, until you see one eventually that says "end of Tourist Drive".

But there's actually NOTHING worth seeing along these tourist drives, you just get led along lots of little roads to nowhere, and end up more or less back where you started! Go figure!

Again, I know where the bloody hell they are, they're somewhere with decent attractions!
