"A few observations from being in Great Britain for a week. . . ."

Edited by Author at 7/22/2016 - 4:24 a.m.

Bath is beautiful. My wife would gladly come back. Stonehenge is very cool. Lots more to it than just a bunch of rocks stuck in the dirt.

Driving on the left side of the road for 1,000 miles has been interesting but I am now used to it. I have been using my Garmin GPS and if I hear the word "Recalculating" one more time I'll throw it out the window. One word- Roundabout

After 6 days in GB I have seen exactly two black people and they were both on The Old Course at St. Andrews teeing off.

St. Andrews Old Course is closed on Sunday and open to the public to walk the course with their dogs. 40 pound fine if your dog takes a dump on the course and you leave it.

TONS of middle easterners in London. I was quite surprised at the numbers. I can see why many native born Londoners were ok with Brexit and why London elected their first Muslim mayor.

Edinburgh seems to be more of a blue collar city and prefers to have their buildings look like they are in the 16th century whereas the town of Bath likes to clean their old buildings.

Heated towel rods in the hotels. I might need to get me one of dem.

Scotch in Scotland drank guderer than Scotch in Georgia.

Not a single 5 Guys, Wendy's, or Doubletree in sight.

Our posh hotel in the Knightsbridge area of London has an open bar so we are hitting the scotch pretty hard.Lots of people askin about the U.S. election.

The EU has not blocked the WHAB despite ssimelo's posts.
