Yes it pisses it down every day between 2 and 4pm! The rest of the day is glorious sunshine and the odd hurricane!

Holidays in America?

I’ve been to the States 7 times and have yet to come across “friendly police and security”. The immigration officers have to be amongst the most rude people I’ve ever encountered anywhere in the world.In Florida at the moment in the middle of a 2 week family holiday, had zero issues, same as always coming to the States. Found all migration officers, Police and security I've come across as friendly people. Simply have the right paper work and don't break the law and you will be absolutely fine. Oh and don't listen to everything you hear or read in the news.
I’ve never given them an excuse to be so unfriendly but the worst one was in Vegas, the Immigration Officer said to me “I’ve been looking at your criminal record, what did you get arrested for?” I asked what are you talking about, he then went on to say I’d been busted for drugs and firearm offences, I was 58 at the time and thought what a peculiar line of questioning bearing in mind I’d successfully completed the ETSA application prior to travelling, absolute drongo.

Is there any other country that your principles won’t allow you to attend due to the person running it?Depends on your principles. I have never been when he has been in charge and will not go again whilst he is. Those are my principles.

Was just thinking that when I saw the thread title. Fairly sure US backed Khmer Rouge to stop Vietnamese influence.
As someone mentioned earlier I'd swerve USA and go to Canada - it's massive, laid back and hardly any people apart from the main cities for the vast size of the place

Come to Vermont Bill, you can be a very special guest on one of my videos ;)I was there in May, had a really nice time in San Francisco and Seattle, and I'm back there next year to Hawaii and LA, possibly driving to Vegas.

I've just booked to go over again next month while I'm between jobs. Staying with an old colleague & friend in Philly for the weekend, fitting in trips to the USAF Museum in Dayton, The Neil Armstrong Museum in Wapokaneta and the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, seeing my son and daughter-in-law who also live in Cleveland, and fitting in a visit to Pittsburgh at some point. And all that in 12 days!

I saw a programme the other day where 1 European traveller went to Disneyland for 150 European travellers that went to Disney World.It puzzles me why people want to go to Disneyland let alone America as well.
The Americans were the opposite in that most of them preferred the old style disneyland to the more modern disneyworld.

I’m not sure you’ll want to stay in the house with The Smiths / Morrissey / my (ahem) appearance on a UK quiz show all on a loop for a week……Sure, can you put me and the wife up for say, a week, provide meals and transportation as payment for my guest appearance?

I have really good noise cancelling headphones mate :)I’m not sure you’ll want to stay in the house with The Smiths / Morrissey / my (ahem) appearance on a UK quiz show all on a loop for a week……
Never been to Disneyworld. Went to Disneyland on my first visit to the U.S. age 20. Went on all the rides, for the last one you got into a canoe on a lake. All the Americans sat there waiting for the canoe to move till the Mancs called out "pick up the bloody paddles!"I saw a programme the other day where 1 European traveller went to Disneyland for 150 European travellers that went to Disney World.
