Just google earth'd it. I think this was our house (on the left) but it looks very different now. The paintwork was that lovely 1970s orange and it has a new porch. The field that was behind it is now all houses. https://www.google.com/maps/@52.807...cEo_QAdj_MsuV_C3A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en-GB We moved to Suffolk in '76 when I was 11, just in time to spend the long hot summer on the beach.
Just had a digital walk around the village It hasn't really changed that much. The den I built beside Dalby brook behind the school doesn't appear to be still there though.
English culture is a load of warm beer crappy food ****. No one's forcing you to come to London, so if you come, have some respect. Remember, I'm from it and live in it, what do you have, nothing. Me, I have UK music, art and food from around the world and people visiting and living here from all over. What's so good or great about traditional English and why should London have to suffer it in 2018?
People who visit my city from any where only looking for English culture, do nothing for me. Why come to a world city and complain it's a world city, people are so stupid.
It's insulting, to compare London to Ipswich, @Nonnie should have taken his children to Ispwich instead of coming to London and expecting it to be like Ipswich.
London has to compete with Leicester for diversity title lol. (It does win by just 2%) This is for everything inside the M25 from the 2011 census, you have to remember the proper London city is very small. We have wicked Diwali celebrations the largest outside of India something to behold.
We drove across to Newcastle airport, took the boys to see the planes. Just happened Concord was sat on the tarmac, always remember it looking small !! Was driving up back home one night. Because I was going to run an errand, rather than drive up the A74 (at that time), I had to loop through Carlisle on the B6264 and head East. Much later when I got home, the Lockerbie bombing was on the news. So if I didn't run that errand and due to the timing, I would have certainly saw something in the night sky!
We did the museums, the science one was spot on. Took the boys on the BBC tour. Not sure about the headscarf bit, they're quite common. My mother used to wear one and Nora Batty in Last of the Summer Wine did as well.
You need to get more often and try some rural restaurants, you won't find anything decent in London, it's all stuff that contributed to the Fatberg. I just went on Google maps, apparently I live 271 miles away from London. I hope I get English music and food up here as well and not the Fatberg stuff from **** hole London!!!
As a British chef I know that to be untrue. The amount of people going out for a traditional British Sunday roast has never been higher. Next you'll be telling me you've never had fish and chips. Apple pie? We've been eating them since at least 1381 (first written recipe) I suspect that you eat far more British food than you even know. TRIGGERED
When I've travelled to Spain/France/Tunisia etc.., I look to experience Spanish/French/Tunisian culture. Always eat their local food and hunt out those little cafes in surrounding villages. Never ever been in one of those English bars/pubs/cafes when abroad. Why on earth travel to a country to experience what's at home. Here in the UK, when we pop out for a meal, 90% of the time it's to a British restaurant. On the odd occasion, to the Indian or Chinese restaurant. Pretty bad when you go into restaurants and shops in your own country and end up feeling embarrassed because you couldn't understand the member of staff due their poor to non existent English.
You can't beat a Sunday roast. I normally go for Lamb and mix the mint sauce into the gravy. People normally stab the meat and insert Rosemary and Garlic, a friend did it with Anchovies!
Lamb's a bit expensive to serve these days. I usually slow cook brisket of beef for about 6 hrs instead now.
My post was in jest, this is a humor and satire thread after all. I guess I could of went with the lack of orthodontics theme.
London isn't your country, you called it a foreign **** hole, you remind me of the time Nick Griffin when he was the head of the BNP and slagged off London because according to him it wasn't English anymore. I'm glad he didn't like it if that's a problem to him, you too. You're not from London, you're from England; London should be its own country, like Scotland.
It's 2018, good riddance to Brits who moved to Spain and Australia because England wasn't white anymore.
They're the worst, there's this TV show about Brits who want to make a move to Australia because England isn't good enough for their children; if that's how they feel, no one needs them here, another family moves out with racial undertones because they want an all white society, and someone else moves into their home, they're leaving the UK, while complaining no one's White and English anymore (because they all ****ed off to Spain and Australia).
@Nonnie, here's where the things you were looking for went. Count the black and Asian people here and tell me this isn't about race and culture. And every episode is the same, it's always a white family saying the UK isn't where they want to raise their children. Joke's on them when Global Warming, wildlife and ethnic diversity catch up with them in their new homes.
