Brits Fattest and Sickest Europeans

Polehawk, Canadians still ice-fish, play ice-hockey, curling and club baby seals over the head to infuriate Brigitte Bardot, Paul McCartney and his former wife.

I agree with Westerby. England is a great place to live. Well, this opinion is based on only two years in London as a student so it is not the view of a long-term resident. The winters were kind compared to any experienced in the Great White North (Canada). I loved London because there is so much green. It is an excellent walking city with free museums, art galleries, wonderful theatre and quaint old bookstores. Furthermore, I was on the Queen's home turf. And the history...it is marvellous.

I did not experience Hackney or many places south of the Thames, but I made it through a few Arsenal, Crystal Palace and Chelsea home games without serious injury. Never did the trek to the Den on Three Dog Island though to see if I could make it out alive from a Millwall match.

The three choices I have for retirement are Thailand, Canada and a long shot, England. Maybe I should add the possibility of Laos and Burma to the list.

Just getting back on topic....

Burma

Made it in there for a day trip once(well 3 hours, had to be out at a certain time)....Crossed the river by boat at Mae-Sot...sat in 'passport control' for 30 + minutes whilst they (soldiers) decided to let the farang in....think they got a bridge linking it now, as it was 16-17 years back.

Now back to swampy tips....

Right...sticking to the topic...I have gone to Burma three times and enjoyed it immensely.

Burma did not have a single Wimpey's, which proliferate all over London. This (Wimpey's) may partly be the cause of the on-topic-title.

Do they mean 'sickest' in the modern sense...'really great'? For example,' that's really sick, the sickest' if you are a scouser commenting on the recent disaster at Old Trafford.

Wimpeys do a fine Burger and decent fries too...most towns have one, makes a change from BK/McD's...Food on a china plate cutlery nice surroundings orders taken and served up by a girl.

Keeping on topic...that's so sick BM, the sickest.

In Toronto, we have Harvey's which is far superior to Wendy's, McDonald's or Burger King.

However, it does not have the girls or the cutlery. Still pretty sick though.
