LOL .........you haven't got pair of the special glasses (specs) that Expats get given on leaving the UK

Gatwick != Surrey

you were obviously in the wrong place

Horley probably

bless they don't know...

I know where I was, but I guess I don't recognise beauty.

From Gatwick (yes) but into Kingston and Richmond and many points in between since we drove from the north south and east.

Would have been pretty except very few flowers blooming and again, pissing cold rain! Derbyshire was prettier except it was a few degrees colder (where's the brrrr symbol)?

I'm always bemused watching telly & film shot in the UK cos it's ALWAYS SUNNY. Must be hell to schedule filming schedules!

Mind you an English summer beats a Texas summer but IMHO a Texas winter beats an English winter. Unless you like being damp and cold at all times.

whats is it a "caricature" of ?

sorry meant to say character...not had my morning fill of coffee...tks

Well that route sucks, unless you go through the back roads

I saw Simon Cowell On Friday afternoon in a Starbucks in West Hollywood - hes bulit like a brick shithouse :scared:

Does he have his trousers covering his nipples all the time or is that just his TV persona?

hey guess what... the weather does not make or break a place it's the people and give me the brits any day snowbunny, should you ever have to go again you need to visit the beauty of the surrey hills where the villages are...kingston/richmond are all suburbs of london good for shopping and commuting but not exactly beauty although some buildings and architecture are something else...lol beats this ugly metropolis anyday

saw him in barbados last yr...he looked pretty fit

Hanging out in West Hollywood while the missus is away. Hmmmmmmm, very suspicious

Now you're making me homesick !!

That's were I grew up.
