Well, I've popped down to Ilfracombe to see my dad at it appears that EVERYONE IN THE WORLD had a similar idea. The tip that normally takes me 3 to 4 hours took me 7.5 hours. From Bristol to Taunton I didn't get above 20mph.

I dont know, there's something quite rustic and wholesome about street defecation.

I remember I went to a nightclub in India and there was an old, rather large lady, operating a tuck shop out front. What a splendid idea I thought. Ciggs, water, chocolate and crisps. I pondered over at just the moment she hiked her skirt and revealed her bum star before curling a fresh one beneath her stand. Safe to say we steered clear of any fresh produce and just acquired chocolates and crisps. Close call.

I always describe Bracknell as like Milton Keynes without the history or sense of character.

I think Bracknell’s entire purpose these days is to make Stevenage and Basingrad, sorry Basingstoke, look good.

Stoke on Trent has some hotels. Anyone fancy holidaying here? The frequent raining keeps most of the city less than filthy most of the time.

India wants to join the world powers, but it can't get over people casually laying bricks on the street like it's 0021.

Fochriw.

If you've ever been there, you'll know why.

I didn’t know it, but after Googling it, I found that it was very near Caerphilly.
A friend from back home, (London), married a girl from Llanbradach, and lived in Mornington Meadows, I’d stay with them when my trucking job in the sixties took me to Llantrisant.
If you couldn’t score with a local girl in some of the Caerphilly/Trethomas/Bedwas pubs on a Friday night, then you really weren’t trying, or you were dead.

I am pleased to see all the hate for Bracknell My work's office is there, just off the twin bridges roundabout and it truly is an awful place. The town centre used to remind me of what Basingstoke was like until the 90s but I have to give it credit, it looks a lot nicer since the new town centre opened up. The place in general is still a hole though, made even worse by the fact that just about every road and roundabout around the town has roadworks going on at the same time. It truly made me appreciate how good Basingstoke was while I lived there.

Can't come to stoke without taking in the sites of cobridge

It hasn't changed much in Caerphilly! A bit worrying as I have two young daughters and live just outside.

Fochriw is dire- it is in the centre of a huge, waterlogged spoil tip. Yellowed sedge grass and pools of stagnant, standing water surround it, and it only gets worse.

You have my sympathies, although I have to say I enjoyed it in South Wales, much more so than up North, in those Welsh speaking places like Llangollen, and Betws-y-Coed, where if you walked into a bar and asked for a drink in English, it would all go quiet.
It wasn’t all skirt chasing, I had some great times in some miners/working man’s club on Newport Road, between Bedwas and Trethomas, although they were a tad unsure about me at first, as I don’t drink beer.
Probably took me for a London nancy, drinking vodka and tonic!

I'd love to hire an estate, stick a mattress in the back and tour Scotland

You must be a dream come true to the Scottish hotelier and tourism industry Although I do commend your parsimonious attitude to holidaying.
