I've been in rural Wales for the last few weeks, keeping my Dad (or,to be properly Welsh,"Tad") company after Mum's death - and I have to say the weather for once has been great.

Was in Wales a few weeks ago myself in the mumbles and to be fair it was nice. Starting to get colder here now

You and I may be the only cc people who know what "Mumbles" means.

Aside from a LOT of negativity / posturing I've seen on this site from some of our brothers overseas (not you Jonzey ;o), every single English person I've ever MET in RL has been unflinchingly polite and nice, so.....that.
And one of my all time favorite songs (Floyd), especially the line in bold....lol:
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
One more thing, offhand.....this Reggae version of Time is fucking fantastic (Dub side of the moon....whole album outstanding)
"Gypsy told my fortune...she said that nothin showed...."
Stephen Fry.
Marmite.
Thinking we are superior to Americans.
Queues and talking about them.
Grebs hanging out in car parks and chavs drinking in parks.
Kebabs and vomiting in city centres on the weekend.
Countryfile.
Both my offspring love those, I think they're disgusting.
I admire your honesty in labelling your offspring as disgusting. Stiff upper lip old chap, maybe you could sire more offspring on a filly with better form what.

That reminds me of the joke:
If you think honesty is always the best policy, just try telling your best friend what you really think of his offspring.

4. Intelligent sense of humor (some might say witty).
5. Doctor Who
6. Superior though biased and sometimes annoying source of world and international news.... the ONLY place I actually got to hear the sound of Yassir Arafat's voice, despite decades of 'reporting' on Mr. fat.

8. Charming children's stories and make believe worlds and funny words. I think British invented the notion of "childish"
First time I went to England (days before Christmas), my future mother-in-law offered me a biscuit. I politely said no thanks. She went to the kitchen and returned with a plate full of cookies. I said "I'll take a cookie please". She said "I just offered you one and you said no!" I apologized, and said I thought you offered biscuits. My girlfriend had to explain to me that cookies are in fact biscuits. Who knew?!
