Global chat my arse.

Global chat my arse (British spelling) I bet there's no-one here from the
Northern Marianas or Birmingham UK.
Peace.

Actually there's no-one here from an awful lot of places. Where are all
the French and Germans? The Chinese and Japanese? Poles and Cheques?

To the last in your list:

lost in the mail...

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Okay, what if we listed all the countries we've visited? Mick, I think
you'd probably have travelled to half the globe with the fair Wendy...

Argentina
Canada
Brazil
France
Germany [West]
Jamaica
Switzerland
Trinidad
UK
Uruguay
USA
Venuzuala
And I think we hit one of the pocket nations on the way to
Switzerland. Not Grand Fenwick, though.

And I'll add
Austria
Isreal
Italy (for one hour)
New Zealand

BTW my list.
Australia
New Zealand
that is all.

If nh rot13ed is NZ, NZers start out with the significant
disadvantage of being something like 1600 km from the nearest continent,
although I suppose there are lots of island nations you could visit.
I can hit at least two other nations ((France, USA) fairly easily, and
a third if that hospital room in Ottawa is still territory of the
Netherlands.

Despite that, aren't there an amazing number of NZers abroad
at any given time? Like, 10% of the country?

My one brush with Toronto tells me that you can claim it all you want. No
objections from me whatsoever <lol>

Mick.

as James rightly points out, you have an advantage of distance.
the 2 closest neighbours to Australia = Papua-new guinea and
Indonesia.
very hard to get excited about that.
we also now have to get a passport to go anywhere and the price is
astronomical, also it's very hard to build up enthusiasm about flying
these days. there are still 2 states of Australia i haven't been to.
i travel the world via the internet.
on your basis i've been to texas. a town in QLD 8*)

Why is everyone else counting the elements of the UK separately?

Seperate countries is seperate countries, James ol' son. If Scotland and
Wales want their independence then by cracky they can have it.

Any road up, it's just to show how well travelled we are. I think.

As a fellow Englishman, I'd insist on it.

Oy! My late stepmum was from Brummigen - well Walsall really, but that's
close enough.
