Had to chime in as a "colonial" who spent six months in England with the Royal Navy and absolutely fell in love with you limeys and your wonderful country:

Great things:
- The local Devon village pub culture
- Jubilee chicken sandwiches
- Public transportation
- The incredible density of history
- The Royal Navy
- Cider!!!;)
- Mushy peas!
- Curry!!!!!
- "Just a minute"!
- BBC Radio
- Quirky cars (Triumph, Jag, MG)
- Cricket (took a few pints and a very patient mentor to explain the finer points)
- Rugby
- Proper tea
- Devon clotted cream

Things I just did not understand:
- The appeal of "The Archers":S
- Anyone from Belfast
- Soccer - I have honestly tried, even with beer, fish and chips, but still a bloody boring game

My favorite game while in one of the village pubs was to bring up that I was going from Plymouth to Portsmouth that weekend and watch the locals fight over the best way to get there!:D

Bill Bryson's book was spot on!

Cheers, Aye!

You know that picture is so old Jesus pulled that one out at the last supper in some amusing gag. He was the life and soul of the party just like you are now



There's another connection. Dave was actually AT the last supper. The Davinci Code got it worng. Its not St Peter who is giving the cutting throat sign, its Dave. :| Yes, he is THAT old.
