Wot..are you coming over ..?

Yes, I've run low on Yorkshire tea and totally out of Marmite.

Plus I need an eye test with glasses that don't cost a fortune.

I want to browse English books in English book stores.

Eat an English pie from the village bakery.

I need to walk on the rolling South Downs and look upon the Solent through the haze with my grey muzzled Jack Russell by my side whilst he still has it in him to chase squirrels.

I want to drink a few pints of nutty English ales in a thatched country pub afterwards.

My elderly parents need their hedges cutting and it would pain me if some-one else was paid to do this.

In all, I feel like these lines of Wordsworth:

I travelled among unknown men, 

In lands beyond the sea; 

Nor, England! did I know till then 

What love I bore to thee. 

 

'Tis past, that melancholy dream! 

Nor will I quit thy shore 

A second time; for still I seem 

To love thee more and more. 

 

 

Oh and I need to pick up a new chipper and stump grinder whilst I'm at it...

Not so sure, I find the idea that any manufacturer will fold to any to avoid bad publicity on here spurious, and, in a way, a little insulting to those manufacturers who do react promptly to issues.

 

Just my thoughts, not a hill I want to die on.

Global are spot on Mick, I was aiming it at the dealers we have had problems with , god knows the number of new saws I have had stuck in such places fr weeks , K

I believe that negatives can become powerful positives if corrected.

Putting hands up and telling the world 'I'll sort this' generates genuine good will.

What we don't want are 'negative waves'

We are just back from a 2 week driving holiday across France, for my cousin’s wedding in the Alps. 

I love Britain and I love my little piece of it, and have always missed it wherever in the world I’ve found myself. However, this time France blew me away to the point where I had regrets about returning home (and I’ve been a bit of a Francophobe in the past if I’m honest). 

I totally understand your nostalgia with regards our fair isle, and I would definitely miss everything you described in such a colourful way. I’m not sure I would be rushing to swap an outdoor French life for a British equivalent nowadays though!
