It's amazing what the English will do to brighten up their boring, dreary, grey, cities ..

Gotta agree too, another Aussie that's spent too much time on the wrong side of the channel. Weather must be close to the worst on earth. I honestly prefer -10 and crisp to the godawful drizzle that infects most of England for most of the year. There are some great towns and villages in England (and some wonderful pubs, with some world-best cider......) but on the whole I find them bleak, boring, ugly and miserable places.
That said there are some places in England I do love, particularly the moors. Spent hours warndering dartford moor, incredibly relaxing, utterly noone about except the occasional pony.
CzinZumerzet I've been to the Chedder caves, you must be living in the Somerset/Dorset kinda area? I've got rellies who stayed in Yeovil for about 3 weeks before bailing it was so godawful a couple of weeks ago but most of that country is lovely.
