    It was so long ago, I don't remember why.
    But I am sure a short visit, would refresh my memory very quickly. I may not even have to leave Heathrow.

    From my house I can only see my neighbour through her net curtains if I use the really long lens on my camera.
    Get yourself some binoculars, on a stand, far more convenient, hands free

    I know we pay less, however, I see poor value, compared to those places, is my point.

    This is unlike places like the Netherlands, Denmark etc. where you pay a lot, but you can see where it goes.

    Car tax is another, the old man said they should get enough in to tarmac the whole country.

    The reality is poor quality roads, full of road works, with no one working
