Duly noted and thanks for the tip; been to London (Before the Islam invasion) but always wanted to stay overnight at various English villages. Of course, need to wait due the the pandemic hyperbole situation.

The typical small English village as portrayed in the movie “Hot Fuzz”

“A skilled London police officer is transferred to a small town with a dark secret.”

No crime whatsoever. A funny movie with Simon Pegg and and Nick Frost from ‘Shaun of the Dead’.

Yep! I was just about to post that same sentence. In fact, we are watching an episode of Midsomer Murders as I type.

Better advice than Dear Abby.

Seeing how the UK imported countless third world violent Muslims and Africans it would be best to avoid altogether.

Love Midsomer Murders. The episode I watched last night had murder by a wheel of cheese, cows crushing two lovers in a barnyard, poison, a cheese skewer shoved in the victim’s back and emerging out his chest, and a garotte wrapped around a guy’s neck. One victim had some kind of wriggling cheese maggots stuffed in his mouth.
The chief police investigator was following his dog everywhere waiting for the dog to poop out his wife’s ring that it had accidentally swallowed.
How are there any people left alive in Midsommer? Corpses are everywhere. And the murders are truly grisly. How delightful!

A word of advice if you ever visit Australia. Never equate Aussies with the uhhh...bloody poms or you’ll get a tongue lashing like never before. :)

Thanks for the advice. Dad has been there twice. We have an Uncle there; a whole other branch on the Family Tree.

Visiting ‘Down Under’ is on my Bucket List, though the Cousins come to ‘The States’ every decade or so to catch up. ;)

Love that show, but don’t like the most recent DI, especially after what he did to Harry!

For folks wanting a Midsomer sampler, there are episodes available for free on Tube.tv. That is where I got hooked. Thinking of it, this must be what a drug dealer feels like. “Here, mate, take a hit on me. If it’s took your fancy, well, I can set ya up...”

When you can properly pronounce “Dalziel” (of “Dalziel and Pascoe”), you know you’ve hit the boss level of binging. Lol

A word of advice, stay away from Sod’s Hole, in the Wolds, in Lincolnshire.

LOL! Yes, ‘Endeavor’ was great!

Beau and I were wondering why so many people were dying at Oxford, too! ;)
