If you go abroad, it is going to be different
England is really the same as here. I was quite surprised at that town though, I thought Cambridgeshire would be really populated but really it was all FLAT fields with pigs in them.

LOL.. sorry to generalise but its the truth.

Unfortunately, but if you pick the right places you can avoid them

Melbourne sounds like an improvement over much of New England, let alone anywhere in the UK. But I think you knew that.

Summerwhale.... you did not answer my question. Is your A380 certified for IFR, and more importantly, does it come with a bar like the Emirates versions?

When we goto Spain we stay in golf resorts ,we don't go near those dumpy towns. All you will get is English louts running half naked up and down the streets shouting and roaring all night/day.

All the towns looked like they were in good shape there. Maybe some rural villages but otherwise?

Our food is more like American food than Spanish, at least from what I seen in Publix. And yes all you see in Spain is ham, their butchers aren't like British/American butchers they fricken stink with all the meat hanging upside down!! They don't seem to use fridges either because all of their meat is covered in this yucky dry residue.

If we're talking about winter, then certainly. But summer, I'm not so sure. Seems like New England gets more humidity, warmer lows/highs and more thunderstorms in summer, although the record highs are lower and temps over 35C seem to be less frequent. From what I understand, our average lows would be considered "cold" during a New England summer.

I have always loved pizzas in France, Italy and Spain! In fact they are pretty much the same as you get in restaurants here, looking like this:

I guess in Spain steak might be more rare, but you can certainly find it, whenever I eat out on holiday when I go to Europe, there are always pasta, pizza and meat dishes that include steak, beef or chicken.

England is nothing like NI. NI is lowly populated, different weather and mostly green farmland.

Have you even been to NI? Yes of course it is less populated but we are strikingly similar to parts of GB, at least Scotland anyway.
