Come on 'Enjoy England', take a chill pill...enjoy



I've just read an article on the BBC which labels Brits as addicted to 'sex and TV'. Well I've heard far worse and less accurate things said about our fine nation.

Enjoy England, whose spokesman has just had a hissy fit at a new book really need to relax a bit. It seems from the beeb article that he said some very nice things too.

I've found very few better places than Britain. I love England (especially the north), I think Scotland's great, you can't go wrong with a bit of Ireland, I'm not sure on Wales but it probably has it's nice bits too!

Yes, we have more than our fair share of shitholes - step forward Aldershot and Grimsby as my classic examples of places most deserving of a nuclear bomb, but overall there's more good than bad.

I've also seen that my home county Derbyshire is suffering an identity crisis . Well we certainly get a lot of tourists through to Chatsworth House but I have to say I never ever venture into Derby, despite it being the county town. I can get 95% of what I need in Chesterfield and if I want something different then I'd much rather go to Sheffield or Nottingham than Derby.

And I suppose even Grimsby isn't that bad...but it still smells of fish.

quite frankly i belive there's nothing wrong with being a sex/tv addict. its non harmful to the environment and there are very few waste products!

also i agree about aldershot...im sitting at work right now and there's two beardy looking men drinking tennants outside my office, would ask them politly to leave but i can smell them form here.

What that is is just a very nifty bit of PR for Rough Guides. I can't believe how much fuss is being made of it in the media.
