Attempts to be tolerant and understanding.....up to a point

How the older generation would have and some did, fight to the death against Hitler and the Nazis, even if they had to stand alone

I HATE chav culture

Lack of respect for young people/teenagers....the majority are the salt of the earth!

The confused Police force we have now that do not seem to know the law any more

Litter

Social security benefits for people who do not need it and not enough for those who do

Tax em to death, government policy!

Loved -

Sir Walter Scott's house, Lake Wendemere, Canal boats, Hotel room in Liverpool that looked just like a ship captains cabin, smoked trout, good beer,friendly people in the pubs, tours of Scoth Distelleries.

Not Loved -

Plumbing did not always work, pubs with such low door crossbeams that you knock yourself silly on them going to the head, having to literally beg to get more than one ice cube in your scotch on the rocks.

And especially, arriving at Gatwick from Dallas early on that Sunday morning of the Princesses death and moping around London along with everybody else not knowing exactly what to do.

James (who visited numerous times on business for about 4 or 5 weeks total).
