adios 717 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 That difference is one of the biggest I've noted as yet- our completely different perspective regarding distances and travel. I'll never forget having breakfast in a B&B while on hols to the Channel Islands and listening to an english couple go on about yanks... more specifically how anyone could justify having two vehicles for family use. It was amusing to hear the owner mildly scold them regarding their ignorance of the sheer size of this country and the distances between point A and point B. Two cars in a family isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Totally agree with that difference, when I lived in Dublin, an hour's journey was a nightmare, now we think nothing of a 2 hour drive to see friends and an hour's drive is nothing. I think the biggest difference between most US citizens and the rest of us is not wanting to travel any distance outside their own country. Greatest thing about where we live: 30 minutes from the self-proclaimed nudist capital of Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21048 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I can see the sea from my living room window and the Cheviots from my kitchen window. Hold on I thought you were from Shields? You'd need good eyesight to see the Cheviots from there, especially from your perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4355 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) The almost complete lack of scum/crime - people here (Chelmsford) don't know they're born - my next door neighbours leave bikes, footballs and boots on their doorstep overnight FFS. Theres a neighbourhood watch - I'd love to go and just go "Why?". Also handy for London which means access to gigs and jobs which pay well. Couple of decent curry houses (not SS standard but canny).
