Bristol... don't really like it. The university area and Clifton are alright, but the main city centre is horrid. Bath is very nice though, and I dare say could be considered "romantic".


I used to live near Winchester too, and it's nice, but very small. You'll soon run out of things to see/do. But you could maybe combine it with Salisbury or New Forest. Or even... Basingstoke!


As someone else said, York is quite nice.. lots to see, lots of nice pubs.

And you can do romance just like the locals - i.e. a quick knee-trembler out back of the Asda carpark just after chucking out time.

Passed through Burnham Market last week as it happens... and it has become a weird Farrow & Ball freakshow of a place. What was once a nice small market town in Norfolk has been ruined by arses with plenty of dosh and the ghastly 'Hoste'and turning it in to some kind of London nobs theme town

I think what I'd suggest would change according to whether you have access to a car to escape the city or not.


If you haven't got a car, go to Bath. Easy journey from Paddington and you could keep yourself busy for a week in between visiting numerous museums, doing boat trips or walks along the canal, going to the new thermal baths etc. Lots of lovely restaurants (No 5 Bistro just off Pultney Bridge is my recommendation) and plenty of pubs. It is quite touristy but it's bigger than Stratford upon Avon so not quite as irritating.


If you're willing to go further afield by train/plane, Edinburgh would be perfect.


If you have got a car, places like Winchester are fine as you can potter out to little villages or the New Forest.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
