I`m sorry, that I had to divide Europe for UK and non-UK :D
But there is limited place in poll to ask a questions, and I noticed, that most of people here are from UK, so I wanted to check if they`re above, or below, 50% of total users of this forum :) Sorry Florent, that I didn`t matched France, but there`s not enough place! As for now, the rest of Europe is winning (47%) than UK (38%)! ;)

for me it`s sad, that there`s only 4 or 5 people from Poland :(
doesn`t anyone play DM here??? ;)

No, not stalking you this time Im afraid. I was just down for a weekend break, never been to Kent that I can remember so just kind of picked it at random. We stayed in Bridgewood (I think) or Bridgewater, we wend to the cinema in Maidenhead (which was about a 20 min drive from where we were). Saw several signs to Chatham, im sure we must have stopped in or around it at some point.

Went down to Dover as well and drove along the coast. Went to Hastings on teh way to Littlehampton (for some seafront gaming machine action - 11 quid for a bagpuss out of a claw machine - but Im very stubborn) which was nice before heading back into the smoke.
Regards,

Andy

Hmm there's a place called Bridgewood Manor not too far from here, I think that's a hotel...it's near Rochester Airport, plus there's some shops like PC World and Asda nearby too, along the main road.

My dad used to work there, a few years back :). It's just down the road from my college and probably about a mile from my house...takes me about 20 mins to get there (college) - two or three on the bus, then about 15 mins to walk from there. Of course, tomorrow is my last day so I won't be doing it any more in the future...but yeah, spooooky you were so close without realising it lol.

Ay, its a small world (well country). Didnt make it to bluewater though, bit of a shame as they have a KRISPY KREME shop! And I must pay my respects to the ultimate doughnuts!

They are the best!

Rofl yeah my friend is kinda addicted to them...she had one when we went on Monday and two yesterday...she's also addicted to Mountain Dew (a drink from America sold in the Sweets From Heaven shop, they sell all other imported stuff but it's expensive) though I've not tried the stuff. We also like the choc fudge brownies from Millie's Cookies and the cinnamon pretzels from the pretzel stand right near Millie's Cookies. YUMMY :D.

I'm from northern Texas in the USA. Woo. No, you can't blame me for Bush.

Mountain Dew is sooooo disgusting. It'll give you a pretty good sugar and caffeine rush, but it's one of the most disgusting beverages I've ever had. Ugh. There's a whole slew of super-caffeinated, super-sugary drinks like that and they're all a similar radioactive green-yellow color. Then again, I don't drink much soda.

It's funny to think of people importing American soda. Seriously, soda is gross. Why would you want it? Especially Mountain Dew? Jeez. If I thought it could clear customs and all, though, I could probably get you a whole lot of cheap Mountain Dew to give to your friend :lol:

the UK has better chocolate than the USA, for the most part. Cadbury > Hershey. But by and large, the UK has a reputation for having bland, gross food. One of my friends visited England and said everybody there was appalled when the Americans cooked because apparently American food is so spicy... what's the truth of this situation, do you think?

British people love spicy food, Chicken Tikka Masala is officially our national dish! Traditional British cuisine is mostly unspiced, though you could be a devil and have some mustard with your roast beef and Yorkshire pud. Or not, as in the famous comedy sketch "Going for an English" - "go on, order something really bland!". This was of course a parody on the British love for a late-night Indian meal, where drunk people eat ulta-hot dishes such as Vindaloos and Phals (and regret it on the loo in the morning).
