Visit foreign lands cheaply.

Posted by Leon Novello User icon on July 20, 2026, 12:25 am

I hear that Tower Hamlets has sprung up in England.
A visit there would be close to home for anyone wanting to see a foreign land without spending too much money on travelling.

We have many new Countries in Britain now Leon. Bradford was the first of many. I did have a drive around Birmingham a few years ago and it was a good tour of Africa but without Lions or Elephants. Maybe they will follow soon.

You’re wrong about Bradford, Brixton was the first State to declare independence!

I think my ancestors from Kernow invaded Devon in the 1800s. It was easy enough just walked in or caught a cart and horse.
These were the Kinsman branch who were the loyalist bunch in the English civil war.

What I want to know is “ who are we?” I am confused. All I know is we all go back to the same starting point when some geezer called Adam tempted a lady called Eve with a rosy apple. It went downhill from there.

I can remember when brown boot polish had a description of N****r brown. At that time, no one thought anything wrong with the description.
Bring back Alf Garnett he knew them well.

Meanwhile, the BMW cars continue to park up in the side streets and random people keep lifting out the rear seats during the day. There is another arrived Today and i often wonder why all these suspicious cars are black. One day the local plod will wake up from their rest after the burger bar meal
