Personally I can't wait to go to Sainsburys but that's just because I am very sad

I don't want to miss anything so if you have any suggestions on how to spend a Dec day in Blighty - let's have it!

I would leave for somewhere warmer.

Add some logs to the fire, off to Chester in My Range Rover, having a great Saturday Pub Lunch, do some shopping and then return home.

Will post some pics later.

Well, I'd probably be counting the days until it was time to leave again! I know the UK seems to draw people back, but I have no fond memories of living there. I've been in South Africa (crime and all) for nearly 30 years and have no desire to go back at all.

I thought it was a pretty neat picture . . . the hustle-bustle of the high street of a Saturday afternoon. The old buildings, and the new. Rather captured the essence of part of British life.

Odd that then, because it looks for all the world like the sort of picture that usually appears on the chavscum website, which is your real reason for posting it isn't it? If it's honestly supposed to be a picture of the clock (which I can just about make out), well it's crap frankly.

What on earth is the problem? The photograph is poor, technically, but the composition is quite good and it's an interesting snapshot of life. There's nothing remotely objectionable about it.

Great picture and there was nothing wrong with the last one either. If I can just work out how to add a picture I'll put one up of my trip to Ireland over christmas.
