    What Husi posted was funny and interesting. You sound like one of those people who used to introduce wireless broadcasts back when that was a thing.

    Have you ever entered a discussion about motorcycles here?

    I can Google inane facts if I want to.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Last time I went (back in 2013 I think) - I could see a lot of changes from when I left. The direct result of EU Immigration.

    That said - the history is still awesome and depending on what you look to see in a country when you visit, the UK has plenty to offer.
