While we seem to be on the subject, when I was a kid half my knowledge of foreign lands and places came from school, but the interesting stuff came from that twenty-year collection of National Geographics that lay in the basement of our home. I somehow managed to soak up some knowledge while looking through them for the 'good parts'.

For you young'uns who cannot imagine how we amused ourselves before television, and who can not imagine listening to sporting events or drama or comedy on the radio. I learned most of my geography while playing games my cousin and I made up at my grandparents house. They had a globe that lit up. First we played find that country. (Timed events) and once we got pretty good at that we played name that country. You got the capital and had to name the country and find it. Also lakes and rivers etc. Of course this was when we couldn'g get hold of grandpa's car keys and go joy ridding on the back roads. Jo >1.

Well, lots of people round here have their own smallholding with a few cattle, sheep, pigs & chickens so they know where they meat is from and how it's been raised..

I have a friend who just married a nice fella and settled there. Iain, when he came to Buffalo, told me that news of our foul weather made it to England, and that the winters in Salisbury are more rain than anything else. He said this after spending a half-hour cheerfully cursing our January chill of around twenty degrees Fahrenheit, which for Buffalo in January is quite balmy. > >4. You know several people who have hit deer more than once. My husband. Actually, the deer hit him; it came running out of the bushes on his way home from college, took a run across the Thruway and jumped across the hood of the car. Totally whacked the hood up. The deer was unharmed. > >5.

By our standards, anyway; the Californians were crawling along, but Doc-Sahib drove cheerfully at the speed limit and was pulled over. Upon handing over his license he was asked where Williamsville, NY was. "About 10 miles outside Buffalo," he told the cop, who propmply ripped up the ticket he was writing, handed Doc-Sahib his licence and simply said, "You may proceed!" > >8.

Amen!!! > Seems Norfolk, England is the same as rural NY pretty much ;-) Except for the type of football we go nuts over! :-) Blessed be, Baha >My geography bites. Are you near Salisbury? No. Salisbury is more south & west of me by a long way. Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune h*$el*$$e*nd**$o$ts**i*$*$m*m$o*n*s@$*a$o*l.c**$om$ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- > No. Salisbury is more south & west of me by a long way. Of course, your idea of "a long way" might be quite different from Baha's. Q: What's the difference between a UK'er and an American? A: The American thinks 100 years is a long time, and the English person thinks 100 miles is a long way. :) Joyce >Of course, your idea of "a long way" might be quite different from >Baha's. Q: What's the difference between a UK'er and an American? >A: The American thinks 100 years is a long time, and the English >person thinks 100 miles is a long way. :) > >Joyce True, true, but 100 miles on British roads can be *very* tiring as we are far more urbanised and our roads are *different* to USA roads - as many an American from the air bases round here can testify (as they have loads of accidents and have to have special lessons - honestly.). Plus the cost of fuel over here is far more expensive than on t'other side of the pond, so we perhaps think twice about doing long journeys by car as opposed to in America. Our petrol is about 83p per litre = £3.77 per American gallon = approx $6.79 per American gallon.

No wonder my friend Cynthia--who just left Buffalo to marry an English fellow--bikes it everywhere. And we have the nerve to gripe about gas prices here! Blessed be, Baha > Plus the cost of fuel over here is >far more expensive than on t'other side of the pond, so we perhaps think [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Cheers, helen s That's certainly understandable! I think most Americans are trying to learn to be less "fuelish" these days, too, with gas prices higher than ever. DH drives 80 miles a day round trip to work, and it's killing us. Sherry > > No. Salisbury is more south & west of me by a long way. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Joyce You are so right, Joyce. 500 hundred years of history here isn't a particularly long time, whereas 100 miles away..well..almost too far to drive unless it's vital or you're going on holiday.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > cursing our January chill of around twenty degrees Fahrenheit, which for Buffalo > in January is quite balmy. nooo Norfolk's nowhere near Salisbury... we're in Wessex, if you get a relief-map of the UK, we're where five valleys join just up and left of the Isle of Wight... sort-of.. . anyways, We have lots of rain and strong winds, occasional gales and hurricanes. not many thunderstorms... we had a good one ten years ago with golfball sized hailstones... i saw a soggy longhaired cat yesterday, just to make this on topic ;) today we have strong winds, and showers. the sun is shining wanly right now... but the trees are thrashing like posessed things... sometimes we get a white winter, about 21 years ago was a good one.. we're expecting more rain... there's always plenty... except the rare droughts in summer, but they are generally cured by autumn.... xxx Morgan |
