The Christmas Thread

[Mr. Tea]

It's nothing compared to China and India, or even Aberdeen as you rightly say

Yeah, some people really big up the Grand Canyon, but I've heard it's not a patch on the Medway valley.

Or even Croydon

What is it really when you think about it? A crack. A hairline fracture.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Or even Croydon

We'll let's not get too carried away.

Not even a mountain you can go up, you just have to go and look at it and say you've been. Everyone I knos whos been said it's not as good as the Yorkshire dales.

That's exactly what I would think if I went there which I probably wouldn't bother

This is what 99% of America actually looks like. Is it as bad as England, maybe not, but physically ravishing it is not

99% of America is undeveloped and that's not an exaggeration that's an actual number

This is less than 1% of the States by acreage

Sad to see how deeply in denial the Brits are about American pastoral beauty and ecological diversity

From the deserts and Joshua trees of SoCal, to the sequoia and redwood sanctuaries of NorCal to the foggy forests and salmon rapids of the Pacific Northwest, the rolling prairie heartland, the orange Southwest with its pueblo dwellings and sunset-striped cliffs, the swampy Spanish moss covered American South, the Florida keys, the beauty of New England

Hell, the early British settlers saw only that latter area—the mosquito drenched Delaware marshes, the thick forests of New England—and considered it an Edenic garden. Makes me really sad thinking about the state of old England if they thought that about Delaware, one of the least pretty states

We are just giving Craner a hard time for being a dweeb

 

[luka]

America like any comparably large bit of land has some scenic bits of course it does

 

[craner]

Luke has never been to America, he has no idea what he is talking about, which is OK as long as you know that.

I have been to California. I have also lived in East Anglia. California looks nothing like East Anglia, unless, for some reason, you want it to.

You've visited but shaka has actually lived there so he knows it a lot better than you

 

[catalog]

I've never been myself but I beleive shaka he is a safe pair of hands

 

[craner]

Ok

If you think of all the places in the world you could visit in order to see great natural beauty you wouldn't pick America. You would go to America to go to hooters.
