I was stationed in England (RAF Chicksands) for three years and the younger people were horrendous. The first thing I heard getting off the flight was "Yankee go home". The older people were very nice, but they also remember WWII. The food is terrible...very bland, everything with wrinkled peas and baked tomatoes. There are some interesting sites to see and the beer is quite good. It's nice to visit, but I kissed the ground in the US when I came back. No place like America.

RAF Chicksands, my lot has taken over Chicksands, cant tell u the units, but I guess its on the website.

Not a bad little base.

I liked the school and the map of America on the playground.

The Yanks Go Home were not local people but Greenham common supporters.

My uncle flew out of England for two years in WW II. He said he broke out in boils from a combination of the lousy chow and ugly weather the whole time he was there.

I should imagine the Brits kissed the ground on the other side when you finally hauled ass out of our country.
