That reminds me of a night out in Aberdeen when i asked for a fish supper with chips. The reply was "so you want 2 lots of chips" ? Fortunately someone pointed out that in Scotland a fish supper included chips before i made a pig of myself laugh

Nipped into Helensburgh for a play on the fruit machines & an ice cream once ( as you do roll eyes ) after going to the Scottish Open golf when it was played at Loch Lomond.

I would leave - I think it is London which is why. Some on here live in lovely parts of the UK, or even suburbs of a city. If you lived in inner London - in a very rough part - you would see the dregs of society and it would affect you. To escape to another totally different locality would be ideal.

laugh I think the same way about owning yachts and ferrarris and stuff. Hell, I don't even own a tv or a washing-machine. As long as I have my bird and hamster cages then I'm happy thumbs up oh yeah and the pets to go inside them, of course rolling on the floor laughing

Helensburgh? What a coincidence, I used to live in Helensburgh in NSW, Australia. It's about an hours drive south of Sydney and from memory was named by the Scottish miner who discovered coal there? Great place to live, missed it terribly when I had to leave, divorce, sold house etc. crying
