You know you're in the UK when,.......... you recover from the shock of hitting the runway so soon after coming out of the clouds.

You know you're in the UK when, it's been raining for 6 months and even the ducks are saying "enough already!"

You know you're in the UK when you can get a Pork pie or sausage roll for dinner while walking down the high street. Or you can actually walk down the high street and window shop.

It's only on the BBC channels, who watches anything on the BBC, not me, all other channels have adverts, I fast forward them, so adverts don't matter to me. :p

Week in the Channel Islands, 2 weeks in Bristol. Don't really care two hoots what the weather is like (though some snow would be nice :sneaky: ) it's always a pleasure just to be back in a familiar world :)

... The grass is really greeeeeeeen (and so are the trees) and the springtime is a riot of colour and the hedgerows change with the season (and the blackberries are delicious AND they haven't been sprayed!)

Have a good trip, Polly!!!

...you are pressed up against someone so tightly on public transport that you know what change they have in their pocket, but you still do not make eye contact....

(maybe this is just London though)
