Good idea.
Next war, the UK should stay home, unless there is something in it for them.
Maybe that will encourage us, to think twice...
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yes, lol, its sounds a lot like the UK I know.
Although London should NEVER be taken for the rest of England, let alone the UK. In fact, what London may be is usually the opposite of the rest of the UK.
It sounds that by and large you and your good wife had a positive experience. We aren’t perfect, and we have plenty of idiots and scum, but the UK is still a good country, even great country and a good people.
London isn’t the UK the way LA and NYC (and Washington, DC) are not the US. They’re a lot weirder than normal folk.
It is still awesome. As I said, I could probably spend a month there and not see everything - and I’m not talking about clubs and restaurants, but about museums, historical sites, literary references (who can resist looking for 221 Baker Street?).
I also wished I’d scheduled a day or two for Oxford rather than just doing Duxford and running off to Leeds.
And finally, there are a bunch of castles and forts I would have liked to visit.
