Evening guys!

Problem no. 1: Was staying in delightful cottage opposite open fields containing livestock. At 4.00 am one morning, the Herd (head) Honcho decided to rally the troops and they had to follow him across the field, single file, making as much moo-ing as possible. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I went for a wee pootle on the moor. Suddenly an RAF jet appeared, screeching vertically just above my head. I could see the pilot in the cockpit, reckon he was just showing off ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

You could see that much? Was it a low cut cockpit?

there's nowt to see up here. except cows & low-flying fighter jets.

perhaps we should post a sign on the M1 somewhere around Nottingham:
"The North. Nowt here but cows & jet fighters"

then the southerners could then make their own well-advised decisions as to whether to go any further...

So let me get this straight. You booked a holiday in a cottage in the countryside, and one morning, just the once, some cows went moo?

Am I missing any more information?

If that is your idea of hell, I simply cannot wait to die and end up in your idea of heaven!!

How far north are we talking here? Proper north or what I'd regard as down south?

Did I mention the lamb that regularly escaped from the field? It couldn't get back in so kept bleating.

Look, I don't exactly live in paradise - too many sirens, boy racers etc - but the noise of 50 or so cattle is not something that I want to hear at 4 o'clock in the morning.

My idea of heaven happened during the daytime 8)

the flying cow of death can take lasers, and a multiple payload of sidewinder rockets. Vertical take off/landing is also possible due to harrier jump jet engines cunningly installed to look like an udder

Well, I did think of you lot and very nearly took a pic. Beside a gate was a very dead sheep with some fine horns, got a bit nervous of the maggots though!

Yes Anna, it was great thanks. ๐Ÿ˜€ Some terrific rides and walks and am seriously tempted to move there!

So....and I'm going out on a limb here....the flying cow of death also has treadmill-take off capabilities!

We have the perfect weapon.

Bloody unfair of the RAF to restrict their pilots to doing their low flying training out in the countryside where they bother everyone - why can't they fly between the skyscrapers in London?

Not wishing to add to molgrips recent thread but any ride I organise is naturally open to folk from North of Watford!

So what's so great about Watford then ?

Personally I don't see the point of going as far north as Edgware Road.
