So he's probably OK with France.


I've no horse in this race and Hampshire is no longer a Wakey player.
I was merely answering Chizzy's post.

Mind you, anyone has the potential to take a job in new territory, anyone.
Sometimes it's the wierdest things that make someone take that leap into the unknown.
Having said that, family is a huge factor.

The problem is its hard to commit with all the questions on covid still unresolved.
I know we are easing restrictions but France aren't yet I don't think.

Finding flight's aint easy either. Perpignan direct doesn't seem possible so, it looks like Girona is the only possibility ?

I'm done with booking trips only for them to be cancelled. If I go it'll be a last minute booking, which is a shame as it'd be nice to have something to look forward to.

Girona and Carcassonne are usually the more reasonable flights.

Yeah, we've done the lot over the years but, with it being so early in the year, options are massively limited.

Agreed, I'm not best pleased with the French at present but with Macron in particular, a nasty little chancer. He's like Boris but without the comedy value or the ability to say sorry, Boris doesn't mean it but he's not so pompous that he doesn't think he should at least make an effort.

I'd rather spend my money in other nations I quite like the Greeks as they have been royally shafted by the EU. :D


It’s funny looking at the political climate and reporting from the other side of the world... the French certainly don’t look the stupid ones and the British leader is viewed as a clown!

I’ll keep most of my personal opinions to myself as this is a trinity forum... but I will say we are planning a big trip to the ‘25 World Cup and won’t be returning to the UK unless there are big changes.

It’s not that Bojo isn’t a clown I get that but I’m not sure how the French and Macron in particular don’t look stupid.

We seem to have little or no problems with the rest of Europe post Brexit, the EU itself is a different issue. The French however have been petty on every level and have actually helped Boris which I’m sure was not the intention.

I travel a fair bit and I’m amazed how popular the Brits are with almost everyone except the Brits themselves (excluding the French). Especially in America and parts of Europe where Brexit is seen as an heroic act by many who wish there own nations would.

Of course it depends on your point of view and the people you hang out with and I suspect we are very different on that.

However as I’ve mentioned many times I grew up in Bathurst NSW and visit occasionally our relatives and friends. They hate the way Australia is now and detest the current government as anti democratic. They seem to be in the majority especially after the governments handling of Covid.

As I say it’s often based on your social group but it tickles me that so many Aussies hate their government for being almost the exact opposite of Boris, whilst so many Brits put forward Australia as a shining example.

FWIW Australia now depresses me in a way I never thought it would. It’s lost all its character and every time I go it seems to be morphing further into a Disney version of West coast America. It’s nothing like the tough independent minded place I once knew but is now the capital of woke. Fine if you’re woke but these days I find Blighty, warts and all, a far better place. Boris is not Britain, he’s just a really poor Tory PM.

Oh well
