Too many things to mention!

Ok it's easy when you have been abroad for a while, so here goes in not too much of an order and by far from complete

Gurkhas, Pork Pies with mustard, Marmite on toast, ......

nowwaitacottonpickinminutethar deputy dawg, ain't "gurkhas" a load of short foreign blokes who sliced and diced for our side in wars?
I'd rather eat a gurkin, but thanks anyway.

 

[SM BHAFC]

Not to keen on Gurkins myself but whatever tickle your fancy i suppose,

NMH correct they were and still are proudly serving as part of the British Army despite some shocking treatment by successive British goverments.

They are top blokes and in my very humble opinion particulary being as I am an exile! are something that make our little Island Great , the point being that how many people from all over the world have pledged loyalty to a country that in many cases they had not even been to.

Incredible i find it that Britain recieved such help and loyalty from so many different races and cultures from all over the Empire, strange because people seem to say the Empire was such a bad thing as well.

I expect we forced them all to join up and fight for us!!!!!!!

................ if you can let us know where this sea is I'd appreciate it.

I think it's not far from the Faversham Wine Lake.....
