no exaggeration at allWe're not coming down, don't care how much you exaggerate!
Yebbut will France be open when you pop over?However i'm only 22 miles away from France so i can pop there for lunch or do the weekly shop.
I take it you meant Hersonissos? We were about two miles away this year in Analipsi. Old Hersonissos was great... little hill town with loads of places to eat.Herosinoss. I strongly recommend it. For a meal out, go to Nicky's, on the sea front, you will be made so welcome! Aristotle, who looks like Telly Savalas, the actor who played Kojac, and his brother, Jimmy , are the owners and great hosts.
I think the UK's quite good on the whole - certainly better than it used to be. Generally quite efficient and perfectly (naturally) friendly, without the kind of gushing faux-friendliness you sometimes get overseas. I remember a colleague of mine telling me about going through a checkout in the States with his elderly mother, who was wished a nice day. rather hard of hearing, she said: 'I'm sorry, dear?' To which the till-girl responded with a snarled: 'I said have a nice day - are you deaf?!'I certainly wouldn't say that the places we visited had demonstrably better or worse service ethos than the UK
2 weeks is great , 2 Months is fantastic, 2 years and you swap one set of problems for the one's you left behind
Miss Goodbody loves it in the Trossachs.It's not always better abroad, I have been in London for the last 3 days and that is always enough. It's been severely lacking in sunshine for abroad!
In a few hours I will be on the train heading north. Scotland may well be a shitehouse in places, but at least it's a familiar shitehouse and the people are in the main, the best!
So she never went as far as Deeping St James? Missed a trick there, so she did!Miss Goodbody once had such an ambition, but she restrictged herself to Spalding and environs for practical reasons.
