Yep, and I'm just off for a cycle around the sunny, stunning rolling hills of the South East.

It's so nice to be living here.

The character filled, empty roaded, constantly sunny, stunning rolling hills of the South East and it's openly warm and friendly people who cast aside such trivialities as income, watch type and car model is a joy compared to the choking, poisonous land we struggle to live in down here.

Take heed.
Good god man - it is even worse than I thought!! Be careful out there

PS I don't rate the South-East much either - must be my Northern blood tainted with Scotch.

It is true of course that the depths of the Surrey countryside is really very nice indeed, but you have to live amongst the Yuppies!

...who also happen to own the nice bits of the South-West (St Mawes) and go there every weekend in the summer.

I feel sorry for you guys - the next six weeks are going to be hell!

That's exactly where I lived until 1989.

Nice at the time but no thanks...

Lots of people + Atlantic sea that gets big waves = trouble

Every single death this year has been mainly because of lack of respect/experience of the sea.

Going to be? They are already here!

We have learned to cope though.
