But the bar service up here is usually faster - I'm always astonished at how slow waiters and bar staff are outside London. And how sedate the driving is once you cross the M25. Oh - and how many people of the more senior variety there are in places like Horsham or Tunbridge Wells ore wherever and how so very provinicial it seems after living in the big smoke. It's almost like visiting Eastbourne - but without the sea.

When travelling from Devon, I always feel that once we get to Fleet services, that's it and life as I know it is over. I hate the M25 and the motorways into Kent, and that bit round Southampton/Portsmouth and on to Chichester. But London always gives me a bit of a thrill. I wouldn't want to live there, but I just love visiting and going on the tube. The place is so vast and I feel like a bit of a country bumpkin.

Any idiot can deal with a crisis. It takes a genius to cope with everyday life.

Cath - how long have you lived in Devon - you know you have to live ther for over 25 years before you become "one of them" I am nearing it with Gloucestershire - been here 23 years.... but I don't talk like a local (nor do I ever intend to!)cj wrote:When travelling from Devon, I always feel that once we get to Fleet services, that's it and life as I know it is over.

Only been in Devon for about 10 years. I am a Maid of Kent by birth, and rural Kent at that, which is why the big smoke holds such a fascination, I guess. Lived in Glasgow for 5 years and could understand the language there, but still can't fathom what a Devonian is on about 10 years on.Jude wrote:Cath - how long have you lived in Devon - you know you have to live ther for over 25 years before you become "one of them" I am nearing it with Gloucestershire - been here 23 years.... but I don't talk like a local (nor do I ever intend to!)cj wrote:When travelling from Devon, I always feel that once we get to Fleet services, that's it and life as I know it is over.

Alas, I won't be around but a certain Mr Thomas Law may well be - he is currently the theatre technical manager...Deb GP wrote:Fabulous. Right - so who's going to be about prrior to / during the service? Not that I'll be able to recognise anyone. I have a horrific memory for faces.
I will be around after work though for the drinks!
