Water off the back of a Mallard to be honest :lol:

My new favourite place I think is Herefordshire but Dorset is right up there as well.

Nah! It's like everything else; if one makes a judgement call on others, they clearly see themselves as not part of it, when in fact they add to the mix. But elevated ground is so compelling if it makes you feel good....
Nothing changes.

It's plainly obvious that most folks are now discussing favourite places, mine is Cumbria, but I like Cornwall and Dorset too....

A "Troll Continuum", eh? Where does the OP stand on this Troll Continuum of yours?

Difficult at times but why give them what they want?

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Cut it out the lot of you, this constant petty arguing is tedious and boring and is driving people away from the forum. .

Hello folks. Just a casual observation. If one is not enjoying participating in a thread such as this then why not just step out of it. It's clear that the OP was being tongue in cheek when he started it, so there's no need to get all hot under the collar about it. ;)

Thank you Sue, I think virtually everyone saw the thread for what it was, as you say obviously tongue in cheek. It was just an opportunity for everyone to have a bit of a laugh to be honest.

There's a tree like that down the road from us actually. Definitely not just a British thing.

Yes, everything mentioned is true everywhere which was part of the point of this thread really.

Not to be confused with Dim Sum, these are little packets of loveliness that any Aussie will be familiar with. They are quite an odd thing, no-one seems to know exactly what goes into them, most seem to agree it is some form of road kill and cabbage wrapped in a crispy pastry. For something that sounds so unappealing they really are delicious and deeply missed by myself if not the rest of the family :D

Is..........nope! just remembered what I had! It was called a chiko roll. I took one bite, and felt something still connected to the roll. I pulled out a dark coarse black hair running the length of the roll. First and last, yecchhh!

No I wasn't. So? what do you think? What's your favourite place?

(I know it's off topic which is ruly ruly bad because it is unheard of on BE).:)

Chiko rolls are disgusting and if you analyze Dim Sims too much you wouldnt eat them either to be honest but I love them. :D

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 
I've moved a ton of posts out of this thread. It's not compulsory to like all the threads on BE, and as Ive already mentioned if you don't like a thread then step out of rather than take it off kilter. It's not fair to the other members.

Thanks

Thank you very much Sue, it's appreciated.

One of the negatives is that the place is full of Whinging Poms. Can't we export them all to Oz ?
