Agree re Florence. Ended up there by mistake as I'd booked three days in Pisa not realising one was more than enough. Nice easy (and incredibly cheap) train journey to Florence so gave it a go. The police there are bloody miserable though, Mrs Nobby asked for a photo with two of them in what I presume was their ceremonial uniform. Even after identifying myself as "Nice police man from London", they flat refused. How rudeWe were on a ship Lancs.
They took care of everything (at a cost)
Two days that I’d highly recommend to anyone.
I worked in Copenhagen years ago, sweeper up at Kastrup Airport while travelling and always fancied going back with actual money in my pocket. We really enjoyed it. The Danes are actually very pro U.K. but it’s seriously expensive.
Amsterdam is just great whatever your age.
A lovely friendly city.
My absolute number one is still Florence. Very walkable, pretty safe and astonishing art around every corner.
City breaks are excellent.
Ooh! Forgot about Barcelona. Great as long as you stick to the tourist paths. Stray off and it becomes very dark.
But not as much as the misses hated Naples mind.We had astop over after getting a ferry back to the mainland before flying home .Think we spent about 5 hours in the airport waiting as she really didn't want to leave the airport having seen a tiny part of the city.

London IS a great place.to live. Been here for 42 years now. Love it.It’s not really relevant which country is more or less racist than another.
Racism is alive and well all over the world.
I have a white friend who lives in a Caribbean island and his experience is that while he hasn’t experienced direct racism, it’s always under the surface, and the racism from the local people to Asians is there for all to see.
The U.K. has it’s fair share of idiots, but that doesn’t make us a nation of racist wankers which is what the ‘comedian’ alluded to.
This country is generally a great place to live (unless you live in London)
Over 5.6 million people from European countries plus millions more from around the world have chosen to reside here so it can’t be that bad, can it.
Good man Chris. My missus was born and raised on Sydenham.Hill, opposite Hornimans. I/we have lived in Soithwark, Lewisham, Bromley for the last 40 years. She thinks the Medway towns and Gillingham in particular is a shithole (and boring). I admit I agree but I'm just stuck liking the place due to heritage and blind loyalty (same with the Gills).I lived in Forest Hill and Sydenham for quite a few years Lewisham wasn't a bad borough to live in by and large.Never really enjoyed Lewisham itself though or New Cross.Totally agree on Rome hated the place. But not as much as the misses hated Naples mind.We had astop over after getting a ferry back to the mainland before flying home .Think we spent about 5 hours in the airport waiting as she really didn't want to leave the airport having seen a tiny part of the city.
Oh, that's alright then.I did see an interesting statistic earlier, apparently Premier League monitoring of racist abuse has shown that around 70% of racist abuse on social media originates from outside of the UK.
This is based on previous cases, not the recent stuff related to the EUROs
London IS a great ace.to live. Been here for 42 years now. Love it.
"Escape to the Country"? Are you 'avin a laugh?
I'm seriously pissed off with people slagging off London. Just returned from a holiday in the Yorkshire Dales. Nice for a week. Would die of boredom if I had to live there. Need a car to exist too, which we don't in lovely London.
Very rare for me to disagree with you Jogills.
Also nearly spat my cornflakes out when you claimed we don't have any racists on this board. How bad do you have to be to qualify, Himmler?
I'd probably have to admit to some subliminal racism myself, let alone some of those more notorious on this board.
There is one particular poster that doesn't like the Chinese, South Africans and Catholics. He isn't a racist though, he hates racistsVery rare for me to disagree with you Jogills.

Gills 58 goes off on one , casting aspersions with nothing to back it up.
Yet again
Yeah, must have been a manI'd like to meet the man who designed some of the uniforms worn by Italian policewomen. First question, how on earth did you get away with it?

I didn’t say it was OK, I was merely making mention of something which is relevant to the topic at hand.Oh, that's alright then.
:-(
Ok. Fine.I didn’t say it was OK, I was merely making mention of something which is relevant to the topic at hand.
apparently some security expert said that there is the risk of groups trying to undermine our social cohesion through things like this: https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/s...aces-up-global-nature-online-hate-2021-07-13/

I was the other side of the railway line.Through the tunnel by the station and turn right sort of thing. You lived in the nicer part .Although the wife hated Hornimans museum as she dislikes stuffed animal's which is a large part of the museum. I believe actress Miranda Richardson lived in that area somewhere too.Good man Chris. My missus was born and raised on Sydenham.Hill, opposite Hornimans.

Their helmets were similar to our traditional beat duty ones but with massive plumes of feathers sticking out of them, quite dandy.
