Re: How do I know Im back in Blighty?

:eek::eek: There should be a law against taking a dump on a plane. A loo that "flushes" with air rather than water, cannot adequately clean the bowl of the toilet. Passengers should be issued...

Re: Halloween

My aunt emigrated to Florida about 5 years ago, and she has noticed Halloween has got earlier and more commercialised as years have passed. They now make sure they're out on Halloween evening, 'cos...

Re: Commuting to London.

I would recommend Upminster, which is at the east end of the District Line on the tube, and also has overhead rail connections into London's Fenchurch Street. It's a nice, safe, pleasant suburb with...

Re: Are you a Tea or Coffee person?

Yep, guilty as charged! I'm a Southerner for sure - it's warmer down here! I do like York though - beautiful place, and they've got nice tea rooms there too!:thumbup:
