    That was half of why I did it to see if people had been to the same places and give them a chance to chat

    No you havent. However I did manage to nick some of the Valley Turf the other day (dont tell Paddy) so I have that as much lucky charm!!

    I would be worried about anyone who would start with Sidcup (or Trashford or Worksop for that matter). had the misfortune to live in both the latter two.

    nowt wrong with sidcup!
  • Hehe. I'm not going there (as my poor unvisited parents will confirm) ;-)

    Although a few years ago I went somewhere where I was asked to relax and visualise a place in the world where I'd be happiest. The bloke doing it was expecting me to come out with some exotic sunkissed beach. He was more than a little surprised when I said "Greenwich Park".

    Anyway, I'm not a huge traveller, so here's my piss-poor attempt to answer these questions...

    1) the Scottish borders or the Peak district (er, two places I've seen from train windows and vowed to return to)
    2) Berlin (well, for recent history, it's bloody fascinating)
    3) Barcelona, Hamburg, or London
    4) Barcelona (in parts), the old town in Tallinn, or Prague
    5) my best mate from college's house in the middle of nowhere in County Meath. I daren't stay there in case the peace and quiet frightens me.

    playa dorado i thinkit was called. should really remember the name as it was my honeymoon BUT that was nearly 13 years ago.

    amazing place , beaches everything. ok was very basic when we went but beautiful place all the same. Went the the island where they filmed the Bacardi Advert - now that place is eyecatching. Was paranoid most of the time because of the snakes - if they had not said anything I would have been ok.

    I really dont know how you can decide, its a bit like what is your favourite song/music. The world is a wonderful place and everywhere has wonderful characteristics - other than the Arthur Wait Stand.
