So getting on topic Snooze (or should it be yawn) do you know what a
Maidenhead Aquatics is???? I know for sure that Carol does.....but maybe
you are so stuck up your American whatever that you cannot comprehend that
there is a life outside what you are comfortable with...get real
girl/boy....and stop attempting to destroy these newsgroups....hell if you
have any you want to discuss just mail me.....


Wow, you just demonstrated far more stereotyping then I could possibly have.
Think all of us are ugly Americans who are completely ignorant of everything
outside of our small town in rural Nebraska? To be honest, my knowledge of
London geography is pretty skewed. I know where things are on the tube map,
but I wouldn't do a very good job at identifying where the tube stops are on
a map of the greater London area. I've been to London more times then I can
count, how many times have you come to my neck of the woods?

Don't recall ever seeing a pet fish store, although it's never been
something I've looked for either. For household goods, the most I've done
going down to Curry's or Wick's for various home repair stuff at my
grandparent's place.

Whenever I'm in London, I do most of my shopping in Ealing or in Oxford.
When I was younger we'd chill in covent garden or on edgeware road. Nothing
is like having a sharma, some mint tea while puffing some shisha over on
edgeware. Lately I like going to the tea palace in nottinghill, even if it's
incredibly expensive for just tea. None of those areas are really the kind
where you'd find fish, except on a plate.

If we really want to see who can pee farther, how many country stamps are on
your passport? betcha far fewer then mine.

Hope you drank a lot of water, because here's my list. USA, Canada, Mexico,
Tanzania, Kenya, UAE, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, India,
Japan, China.

Well it is very refreshing that there are some people who don't fit the
stereotypical image of Americans when it comes to travel :-) - I think
we are even on countries but you beat me when it comes to continents -
but there is still time....of course, nowadays, travelling to Europe is
probably the equivalent of you guys travelling within the States...

I would guess that you are "the exception that proves the rule" - it
cannot be denied that many Americans do not even have passports let
alone use them....but yes, it was unfair of me to lob you all in
together....

As for the US I would love to see a bit more of the rural locations -
the closest I got to it was Long Island for a week working....didn't see
any fish shops there either....but wasn't really looking...other than
that I've just really been in the mainstream type places (I hasten to
add not just the Disney type places that the "stereotypical" English
person is expected to visit)

============================
If you ever get the chance, visit our western states. See the deserts, the
Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains. Some of these locations will take your
breath away. The western half, in my opinion, is more interesting than the
eastern half.

I've flown over the Grand Canyon but that isn't quite the same thing.
I've visited Manhatten, Long Island, San Diego, LA and New Orleans so
far...there is so much still to see....One day, I'll have saved up
enough pennies to visit again...

Pecking at the keyboard with two fingers Gill Passman at
turned out this gem:

If you ever win the lottery plan to spend at least 2 to 4 weeks here in the
USA. Rent an RV and stick mostly to the backroads, off the beaten
Tourist-Trap path. That's what myself and my ex-husband did for a month
back in the 1970s. But we did it in a converted Van. It was quite a
vacation, the vacation of a lifetime and not as expensive as you would think
because of no Hotel/Motel bills. I got to see parts of America I never knew
existed. And I guess you can say I was in a "foreign country" since we did
hit Banff in Canada.

Well, I've come across gutter inhabitants before, but slagging off our royal
family puts you in the deepest sewer. I hope you drown in your own ****!
