Seems a very depressing place where you come from Dimple Joe.
Also seems very odd that they have a sign directing you to a SECRET NUCLEAR BUNKER.

It is perhaps wrong of me to be so negative of my home country. There are many parts where photos would match or surpass those of yours from Napoli, but equally there are some very depressing places, the cities especially.

The Lake District and parts of the Pembrokeshire coast are magnificent just for starters. And then there is Scotland.................

The Italian weather, would certainly brighten up much of depressing UK

Yes you are right places like Devon,Cornwall,Mid Wales,North Wales,Yorkshire,The Lake District,and you couldn't forget Scotland,The Ayrshire Coast and my favorite The Highlands.
I have some good memories of my time spent in Scotland,Inverness The Highlands,it's a bonny place.

Seems very odd that they have a sign directing you to a SECRET NUCLEAR BUNKER.

We are famous for our sense of fair play, if we didn't give our enemies a sporting chance, it wouldn't be cricket.

Also we are world famous for our kindness.

Next time you visit, don't bother about a passport, money, luggage or any of that stuff; just say the magic word "Asylum" or "They kill me if I go back to my country" and the nice people will most likely give you food, clothes, a car, benefits (free money every week), driving license and a warm house to live in complete with furniture TV, washing machine etc., etc.

Don't worry if your granny and cousins come to stay or your family happens to trash your free house, the nice people will give you another bigger one, no problemo....

And before long you can become a British citizen, run for a local council seat, then a member of parliament, perhaps later prime minister, and before anyone realises, the UK will be run by those same asylum seekers of today!  letitallout bigcry

I am very familiar with your neck of the woods ~~~~ how things have changed I went to school in Havering during my entire schooling only came across 2 non brits one American and one Indian.

How things have changed, life was so simple all speaking the same lingo! now suspect Urdu or Polish is first language!

Tony, your retiring to Thailand, Why? Naples has about the same amount of sunshine, more troops on the streets, more corruption and more toxic land fill sites, doesnt it make you miss it?  ::)
