My parents went there on honeymoon. When you land at Stansted you should follow the blue triangles if you're coming from the Channel Islands. Was Bergerac set there or was that on Jersey?

Otherwise I'm out of Guernsey info.

They have blue telephone boxes and post boxes instead of red <yikes>

Blue triangles <confused> and Bergerac's Jersey.

Guernseys a little smaller with a population of about 65,000. Used to be a Horticultural/agricultural island,with tourism,fishing etc.
That's all ****ed now and the finance industry is king,so its an expensive place to live in many ways. e.g. If I wanted to buy a house
as a local person I would be starting at £400,000 plus <yikes> Crazy ****ing world <doh>

I know exactly where those phone boxes are (or were) but I don't remember them being blue <laugh>

Can't believe places still have phone boxes anyway <laugh>

I was born on one of the outlying islands within the British Isles. So not English,Welsh,Scots or Irish.

The old man was always more cricket orientated,played evening league and wotnot when I was growing up and we played
in the same team when I was a teenager.His love of cricket rubbed off on me,and of course cricket was on terrestrial TV back then.
Listen to it much more than watching it these days,and test cricket is undoubtedly the purest form of the game[/QUOTE]

It's the purest form of ANY game <ok>

A week to go <yikes>

I've just read an interview with Mike Brearley by Michael Vaughan. At the end of the piece, it says "Items related to this story". The first is "Australia and New Zealand agree a day - night test". The next one is "Man Utd table 28.6 million bid for Ramos" What the actual **** has that got to do with cricket? <grr>
 
England squad for first Test: Alastair Cook (captain, Essex), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), James Anderson (Lancashire), Gary Ballance (Yorkshire), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper, Lancashire), Steven Finn (Middlesex), Adam Lyth, Adil Rashid, Joe Root (all Yorkshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Mark Wood (Durham).
 
Good finish to the T20 in TV tonight.

Surrey needing a 6 off the final ball and ball just goes over the fielders head on the boundary to win it!
