Bucklers Hard was one of the most peaceful and pretty spots in the New Forest until the fecking Grockles found it and then everyone moved in to make money out of it.  

In answer to the thread question ~ Just about everywhere I have ever been and then revisited some years later. Never go back ~ you'll be disappointed is my motto

Never going back is a good motto for life in whatever aspect Snoops 

I feel I may have to change the thread title again. This is about going somewhere for the 1st time and it not living up to your expectations. This being a place you have always wanted to visit etc etc etc

Does no one understand me

I said Cyprus. Foul weather, too many goats and run by cowboys and crooks

[Snoopy]

I had to resort to the never going back theme as everywhere I have been for the first time I have enjoyed the experience ~ there is always a daisy to be found, even in a shitehole. Much depends on attitude.


After much thought I would say that Marriage has failed to live up to expectations ~ does that count?

And remind me weren't the Nick family going to abandon Spain this year in preference for Cyprus

We are going nowhere this year. We are on an economy drive, I am told

I think that's a whole different and probably far more popular thread

Anyway, my ex-wife's comment on standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon.

"Is that it?"

And crossing the Rockies by train,

"Not another bloody mountain"

[Miss Demeanour]

She obvioulsy didn't have an eye for the beauty all around her    - she sounds like an ideal travel companion Uncle M  

The Rockies I absolutely adored - they were beautiful 

Still want to see the Grand Canyon though

My sister went with friends to Toronto. They went up the big tower, tallest in the world, has a glass floor so you can stand on it and look down.

Friend did. SHe said ' Oh look how small everything is. Do you think this is where they got the idea for Dinky toys?'

We are going nowhere this year. We are on an economy drive taxi, I am told 

There...

Not driving is in fact saving me money (apart from with Tesco online, obviously)
