To me, that sounds like doing things right.

Must agree with you, Arthur. Anyway, it sounds like Recliner visits the
places that he does in order to see them for what they are -- the trains
are just an added bonus.

That's right. In fact, only two of the four long haul holidays I have
planned in 2017 involve trains at all; I'm certainly not expecting to see
any in the Antarctic, the South Shetland islands, Falkland and South
Georgia. If I have time, I'll try and visit this one, but it's currently

Four long haul? Yes, better hurry along to antartica before your travel
patterns help to melt it. Still, you'll probably be dead long before that
happens so what do you care.

This month I've eaten at five Michelin starred restaurants. But Spud
wouldn't have liked them as they were all abroad and served foreign food.
And I had to fly there.

Who needs to go abroad for foreign food when in multi culti rainbow diversity
inclusive London one can find decent food of pretty much any nationality.
Except British of course, good luck finding a decent carvery or even decent
pub grub in central london.

Isn't the carvery an American institution?
