<3 Lovely place!

Oooh, where? I'm from Suffolk, near the Woodbridge area. Haven't been back in aaaaages though :(

I was desperately trying to remember the name, than you!! Also, their mead is so good.

I constantly tease BoyFloreat because he must be the only person to have ever been mugged in the New Forest. It is the most idyllic, charming, quaint place, filled with ponies and post people, and somehow he still got his phone stolen. I do love it though, especially Lyndhurst.

Have a look at the North East ideas I just posted to agenttremble.

Other favourite destinations outside the usual international tourist hubs:

That's a really good idea, the north is so neglected as a destination but is stunning. I have very little experience with the north west, but I moved to the north east four years ago, and completely fell in love. Durham and York are wonderfully Olde England-y, Newcastle is so much more than the nightlife hub it's…

If any of you venture to the North of England, near the Scottish border, definitely visit Barter Books in Alnwick. You can go there after you've visited the castle where they filmed the first two Harry Potter films, strolled through the stunning town, maybe had a walk along the spectacular coast. Then, when in the…

This was the issue I immediately thought of as well. My boyfriend uses a mod that adds some GoT stuff and people seem to really enjoy crossovers from LOTR, Star Wars and so on. I guess those ones will continue to be free, but a lot of people have a truly terrible knowledge of intellectual property, something I imagine…

This definitely happens at UK universities too. When I got into my college of choice at my prestigious UK university, they made a big deal about how the college received 27 applications per place, even after being initially accepted by the university itself. So I thought it was pretty fucking weird that a guy in my…

It's cut my home town off by about a centimeter and I'm pretty bitter about it tbh

Ah, I was Apollo13 back in my lonely teenage days :')

Also, this is really weird and off-topic, but I used to talk to someone years ago on a different site with your user name... Nerd confession, a HP fanfic site. If it's not you, I apologise for creeping you out.

There may also be cultural issues I guess?

Here in the UK there are special lady mason groups - is it not the same in the US? I've heard they get to do all the same weird stuff, but without the world domination.

I think it's highly likely that mothers over 30 tend to be associated with higher incomes, higher education levels, higher levels of family planning and fewer children. If you're a relatively affluent professional woman who plans to only have two children, you're more likely to deliberately plan having children two or…

ahaha where are you?? Essex? East London? When I lived in East Anglia it was either shaved headed, tracksuit wearing guys trying too hard to look gangsta. When I was in Durham it was rahs posing with cute black kids and tigers. I live somewhere else now, and I imagine it would be a lot of beefed up 'lads'.

I've never actually been able to use Tinder as I'm in a relationship, but I dread to think what it's like here!

Same, I'm laughing my arse off thinking about tourists coming here hoping for charming English gents and being faced with the reality of the average British knobhead.

Well the walk down the aisle will be super awkward.

That fucking massive bunch of herbs. Yup, Gwyneth, that’ll fill you up. Well done. 10 points to GOOP.
