Hello UK!
Wondered why you weren't talking to me on your email! Now I know....
Have fun!!
Phil74Camper ·
Aye that's bloody hot. Have a few lagers, put on your sandals and socks, a knotted hankie on your head, and go down to the shingle beaches for a wee paddle.
Actually can you go to a VW dealer and grab me some nice brochures of all the new models - especially the ones we don't get here? ie. VW Fox, VW Sharan, VW Touran, VW Scirocco, new Golf GTI etc etc
Thanks - will buy you cold beers on your return

Dave, did you get a car with sat nav, we had a car in Scotland in 2005 with it, it made the trip so much better.
donn ·
you shouldn't be sleeping at 7am, the world's moving without you buddy.

i start work at 815 and live 760m from work 😂
and when your pulling late nights on your beetle, which recently is turning into an average of 5 nights a week, (yes i know i havent got a life🤪) so therefore every minute of sleep is precious.
vw54 ·
yeah got an Estate booked with GPS so should be interesting hey
seen a few more bugs aint got time to send pics
vw54 ·
went to St Pauls today magnificiant tour very BIG church lots to see
i must say the TUBE system shits all over sydney trains n busses
so easy to use and get round
kombivw ·
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

Pretend your the PM and place your hand on her back.

jenz58 ·
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🤪
vw54 ·
Your right bout the narrow lanes nearly got wipe out today
we r at Padstow for Rick Steins fish n chips very nice
god save LIZZY

jenz58 ·
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 👍
vw54 ·
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
kombivw ·
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.
jenz58 ·
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) 😵💫
vw54 ·
lots on in london today been waling heaps drove over tower bridge b ut it cost 8 quid
out to a show to night
jenz58 ·
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!
ancientbugger ·
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😏
vw54 ·
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
yeah 8 quid conjestion tax F ME wot next
just went on theeuro star under the chanel tops very fast mst be doing 140Kms bout 2 hrs london to Paris
So wots happen over tehre
jenz58 ·
I hope you've brushed up on your French Dave!
Go see the Moulin Rouge, I hear it is really worth going too and I'm sure you would find it exciting, but I'm sure your tour guide has booked you in hehe
Enjoy the change in food👍
Liz n Phil will be missing you😁

hi dave, forget the cities forget the buildings go to barritz to da beach, nice beach good surf and great views
jenz58 ·
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
Otherwise Lily and I will see you at Amy's trivia at the Wee on Wed 10th
