You know Jamesy.. My last trip was in 1997. I hardly remember. Heathrow? Could that have been it?
I also had this dreamlike, delerious experience of the Belgian airport on the way there. I had NO sleep. Everything was in French. I will never forget that!!
I am often offended by the anti-French comments made by the White House. They may not agree with them politically, but that doesn't give them license to insult the whole culture..
I haven't been since 1999 My sister keeps saying that we'll go soon but now she wants to wait till her daughter is old enough to go and remember (she's 10 now)
I too have discovered the location of our fearless Commander Cloud!
(But I'm not telling either!!)

See Jess, you'll fit very well into English life. Also, we tend not to use British much nowadays, since each nation hates each other
British?? Did I say British?? hmmmm...
Jess, I was merely digressing a tad, albeit seemingly in response to your comments, which, on reflection, was a bizarre and shocking inidictment on your good name.
Anyhoo, we're British during times of war and the Olympics only

People remember most at the age of 10. All the most important studies say so.....

Chips is the correct term for them anyway
Do you have Fish & Chip shops over your side of the pond?
