not for the music really clean open well laid out city, with a friendly population and a good feeling about it. Plus it had San francisco style trams

I was half expecting, but didn't want, this to be a US bashing thread. That said, I was expecting a couple of US posters to go for 'attack is the best form of defence' route.

Anyway, as I sit in T5 awaiting my connection I can report it's not much different here. Other than the chicks understand my jokes.

Oh, and george town was lovely. The town planner must have been a fan of Tonbridge Wells.

I always enjoy visiting the US (although US immigration is by far the worst 'welcome' to a country I have ever experienced around the World) because the place is absolute bananas.

I can't see how you can generalise about Americans when the diversity between East, South and West coasts makes it feel like you're in a different country each time...although none of them seem to understand a UK midlands accent - I have more success in Saudi!

...having said that though I think the tipping culture needs an overhaul

It's Georgetown and Tunbridge Wells.

ROYAL Tunbridge Wells, if you are being pedantic....

Disgusted
of Tonbridge Wells!

(Nice to see that you corrected the george town spolling)

Go easy Tonbridge and Royal Tunbridge Wells are only about 5 miles apart.

Ok, fair enough.

Tunbridge Wells is the God's Waiting Room of Kent!
The smell of Urine, Biscuits, and Murray Mints hits you at the border!

when typing on a 2 inch keyboard think I care?

Anyway Georgetown was nice enough. Dull, but nice enough. I tried to get pissed by the harbour but just couldn't get the volume of that crappy beer inside me.

Did I dream this, or have about 30 posts disappeared from this thread?

Who said that?

Wow. Usually we can see when a post's been deleted. You went nukuler on his ass (and ours)!

Perhaps from now on we should ask one or two probing questions before allowing people on this forum:-

"Have you ever visited one of our great universitiy towns - Oxford, Cambridge...Hull?"

That would smoke the bu***r out!

yeh, it was ok. Might have to live there for a year or so and could do it easily. It was nice to walk around (the biggest failure of Dubai).

That said, back to the land of the Gypos next week and I'm looking forward to that more. Not that I could ever ever live there.
