At a wedding in Weston Super Mare, where everything had to be moved around because of the final.

More of rugby fan myself but I do believe that there is something special with this English team.

I never had him as a teacher, but he was different from the other teachers. Always polite well dressed and walked with a straight back.

I live abroad.

No more PG Tips to be found anywhere! Once year ( because of my type of job ) I have to apply to the police and ask that they send to my place of work that they can verify that I have never molested children. Usually this has taken 10 days, presumably the question was sent electronically to all memb...

At the start of 2020 I was working in the town of Kiruna. ( a place in the far north of Sweden where the whole town is being dismantled and moved as SKAB are to start mining under the town ) and with a few hours to spend before my flight left I visited a second hand bookshop. And there I found a cop...

I have still been thinking about what is good with Brexit and realised that we have all missed a very important fact: In the UK one will be hopefully in the near future be able to buy more powerful Hoovers, not the somewhat weaker types found in Europe. I wrote earlier that Duty Free is coming back ...

After many hours of hard thinking I came up with something!!!

Tax free! Yes it is true I will now be able to bring back 2 litres of spirits with me. Plus fags. But not snuff ( snus ).

I will keep thinking but am not really cetain if there is something else.

Politics is involved in much of our life whether we like it our not. The whole Brit or European thing has been taken up by the Tory Brexiteer tendency to try and demean the European part of our heritage. I imagine that the axing of the Erasmus scholarship exchange programme is part of that. In othe...

Why is it that every time somebody posts a somewhat more lighthearted topic " rockfreak " feels obliged to turn it into politics ? This was a topic started by me that I think concerns a lot of us who spent time at CH and now live in all four corners of the world. Brexit for us who live in ...

I have noticed that a fairly large amount of people here live abroad or work there, some like myself have been living away from the UK for years. I have been living in this country since 1975 a year after I left CH. What are we now? Are we still Britts or are we Europeans ? I suppose I consider myse...

Surely the majority of European countries are based on this? Maybe they have not taken the idea as far as at least one Scandinavian country but otherwise quite similar.

This topic should perhaps be here. It is getting better all the time. Boris has just decided that if diplomacy does not work...bring in the Gun Boats..which is a form of diplomacy ( back in the Rule Brittania days ) So how does Macron answer? Send his rather large aircraft carrier along the Channel?...

No I did not see it.

But the mens game was horribly boring. There will be a lot of fed up players in a year or two. Defence defence etc etc.

It's a balance act! The BBC once stood up for reporting what was going on in the world no more and no less. ( this explains why for those of us who have spent years abroad the World Service was so vitally important ) The BBC has now developed it's own political bias which leans to the left. The Mail...
