( if there's already been a thread on this, I haven't seen it)

We are the best, we've always been the best and we will continue to be the best

I'm very, very fond of the lovely Peak District, some beautiful scenery there.

70 percent of the country is used for farming according to a recent report, there are vast swathes of the country designated Areas of Ourstanding Natural Beauty, so all is not lost.

[emmie]

i am fond of the south coast, Norfolk Suffolk, Hertfordshire where i have spent some time over the years.

[emmie]

Dales, Lake District, Peak District, Norfolk Broads, all quite beautiful.
Scottish Highlands, Wales too, many places to find some breathing space in.

This is just at the top of my street

nice, we have our lovely parks here in London, its not the same as being out of town but is next best thing.

[iluvmargie]

Yes emmie, the Norfolk Broads, I forgot about them. Akin to Paradise for me the Norfolk Broads.

This is the farm up from us....and this is where I shouldn't have been walking Lola, oops

[ladybirder]

North Yorkshire Dales for me. Miles and miles of beautiful countryside which I would argue we have actually improved by the building of drystone walls. Not often we do that!
The Peak District and the Highlands of Scotland are next on my list. I just love hills, looking at them, not walking up them, not any more anyway:-(

I've only just seen this thread and frankly can't be bothered to trawl through more than 2 pages of comments. However, the bottom line is that Gavin Williamson's comment was crass in the extreme and an embarrassment to our nation. Th sensible folk of Europe will probably say "good riddance" when Brexs**t happens.

sadly i don;t get out of town as much as i used to, don't drive and find it difficult to navigate the trains with luggage. But when visiting family do get to see some spectacular countryside.

[Bobbisox1]

Diddlydoo that's a wind up ,right? Haha ,hilarious

[emmie]

no wind up Bobbi

[emmie]

most agree that GW is a bit stiff and awkward if you care to read what's been said.

[Bobbisox1]

Always a none starter this

I couldn't be bothered trawling through.....but , haha

[diddlydo]

The truth - why on earth would you think it's a wind-up?

[Bobbisox1]

It's more Diddlydoos " and the people of Europe"
Who cares what they think ?

[emmie]

its going to be a long road out, but at least a democratic process happened, Cameron did it, blame him if anyone

[Bobbisox1]

And Boy did he get a shock when the country voted Emmie

[emmie]

he did Bobbie,
