Also very expensive! I have to say that I was impressed with price and ease of public transport more in OZ when I first arrived. And dont you find the underground dirty? Dont get me wrong I love visiting the UK but would never live there again. had a good laugh re the Lissy episode, the guy reminded me of my dad. Its a subject we disagree on and avoid

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
Click here for my (slowy) modded 1961 Beetle build.Dave I can just hear you referring to Her Majesty as Lizzy ... but it is blasphemy over there, like using the J & G swear, naughty man! You might have been sent to the Tower in earlier times and executed 🙁
Where's your refinement??!!🙄
Have fun touring!
Lucky you are not in a big camper, my in-laws got stuck in a narrow country lane when they were over there recently, wiped a side mirror off...but neither of them are competent drivers🤪
Your right bout the narrow lanes nearly got wipe out today

Yummy Rick Steins fish and chips!! Were they good??
Do a ghost tour in Edinburgh if you are heading up to Scotland, Bridie had a house mate there who took tours. There really are ghosts there & you go into the cypts under the city... very spooky. Just don't attract a ghost to you and bring it home or you'll need to get the ghost busters in🤪
I'm sure you can refer to the queen as Lizzy up there 😀
Bridie moonlighted in Edinburg as a bar maid, they drink lots of whiskey..and she has a love affair with Black Velvet...50/50 champagne and Guinness (or cider for a cheaper version) Try one 👍
yeah we had the take awat Fish n chips ( COD ) as ive been told by a few pommy friends taht the aussie fish n chips rnt a patch on the UK Cod fish
well it wasnt bad but not much differecne to our whiting and similar
hey the Padstow town is really small and nice
back in London now did about 1900 Klms in the Vaxhaul couldnt get a Passat tey were all out
got up as far as Redcar on the north East coast bout 600Klms up from London
might go n see Phil n Liszzy tomorrow for Scones n Jam
did a ghost tour in york nice lace also Jimmy Cooks departure place at Whitby
getting sick of fish n chips or Beef n ale Pie n bacon n eggs need a DECENT steak
Only steak you can afford there is a turkey steak lol Actually maybe not. At yr tea and scones date with Phil and Lis tell her about yr quandary. She really does have quite a few connections I have heard and am sure she can get one for a good price. Dont forget to take a couple of tennis balls for the Corgi's, that will inpress her. She has a few old cars herself that are really well restored. Go take a look at her shed while there.
Sounds a good healthy diet...just don't go have a cholesterol test too soon after getting home
Do hey still make Vauxhalls? Not heard of them for years
Did they do anything for Phil's birthday on the 10th June? Only reason I know is I looked up the royals birthdays recently to see who might have been born on the 11th as Eddie keeps saying his mum shares the queens B/D ( I think she must have been born on a day they were celebrating the queens B/D) 😵💫
lots on in london today been waling heaps drove over tower bridge b ut it cost 8 quid
out to a show to night
Sounds good...are they trying to keep the traffic down on the bridge, that is so expensive!?
What or who are you seeing, they have amazing shows over there!
IT COST YOU 8 QUID TO DRIVE OVER TOWER BRIDGE!!!!!! That is crazy. I mean I leave the place in supposed 'capable' hands for a few years and the place falls to bits! I lived all my life about a half a mile from Tower Bridge,great pubs and clubs but bringing up kids in Noosa wins hands down😏
went to West end show last nite n saw Jersey boys bout Franki Valli top show worth seeing if u like 4 season stuff
In GAY Pariee now too many people

hi dave, forget the cities forget the buildings go to barritz to da beach, nice beach good surf and great views
Dave you repeating yourself and it's not even in French?!!
Not drinking French wine??
Belgium now that is a sticky one..not French. Poor little Belgium has been caught up in lots of takeovers and strife. It was under French rule for a little bit during the French revolution. Guess you got your mussels thanks to the EU
Go for frogs legs n snails, they are really yummm...I lurv French cooking😘
Have you suffered foot-in-mouth yet in Paris?😁

Don't you think it's strange that if old Adolf had put up up a monument to his victories before the end of WW2 that it would have been pulled down in '45 but Napoleon does it and it's still there!? He was looked upon with the same distaste in his time by his enemies as Hitler. BTW did you know that because the London connection for the rail was at Waterloo the French wanted the name changed! What f*c*ing arrogance!!!!

hey dave did u by any chance drive around the round-a-bout which the arc de triomphe is on? its dead set rediculous, we did it and took us about 15 mins to get out! during peak hour there are i think 7 lanes g of traffic going around it and noone lets u in, u have to basically cut someone off to get anywhere, brilliant! lol
