adidasss, thanks for the suggestion .. But I'm not gonna go somewhere just to hang aorund. In other words, why would I want to go to Croatia? Any places to visit or things to do or see that you could recommend?
Jackhammer, a rough plan for when/if I travel to England would of course be to try and meet up with you brits at least for an evening

Perhaps we could all get hammered, crocked and ****-eyed at a pub somewhere!
