I have to say that there are loads of places I still want to see in the UK... I've never been up to Scotland, and I really want to go to the lakes. Cornwall is my favourite part of the country, absolutely beautiful coast!


That said, when you get summers like the one we just sort of had, you understand why people want to get overseas!

Exactly. Don't go to Scotland or the Lake District unless you want to be rained on. A lot.

So why do you live here Carlos? You don't have to like the English to live here but if that's how you feel why advertise it?

Obviously the "Carlos" was a joke. It's actually Charlie. I live in London becaus I like it. I like East Dulwich too. It's just that I don't like the rest of the country, or most of the people that live in it. I am a Brit by the way. Just not a very tolerant one.

Cannaries are great as long as you rent up in the hills and hire a car. The playas are full of "los frey bentos" sunning their all day full english breakfast beer bellies. Most of the costal resorts are awful, a complete contrast with the interior. Tenerife and Gran Can have glorious forest and mountains to explore. The winter weather is good in Tenerife, but be warned, don't stay on the north coast unless you love cold fog! Cheap petrol and tax free shopping on electricals and cameras.


Madeira is very small, twee and full of old golfing farts and has an excessive number of (single lane) road tunnels. Nice drives up in the mountains but beware of local drivers who are utterly leathal. There are no beaches at all, just wild breakers and razor sharp rocks The upside is that there is great food to be had in old funchal. I also think it may be the hub of the world bobble-hat industry! Winter sun no where near as good as Canaries

Hi charlie i,m sending this mail from madeira i think it,s great all your folks like the cannaries keeps this place clean quite and well behaved.I,m an intolarant B@$*@RD so you might just like it here,stay in funchal city hotel do carmo or the windsor both have rooftop pools and you can strole in to the city to eat at night (NO CRIME NO MUGGINGS)not the same as the cannaries.GO FOR IT MATE!!! Im typing this having lived here olmost the last year but got to go to UK tomorow till new year to get some ????? then back for most of next year.P.S.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
