I'm an American who grew up about midway between Chicago and Detroit, and got sick of the weather. (Yeah, you try dealing with seven months of snow and slush every year) So the spousal unit and I now live in northwest Florida about four hours east of New Orleans.

It's still snowing at my parents' house, but the organge tree in my front yard is now blooming, as are the azaleas.

[zanshin]

Kingston upon Hull is where I dwell less than a mile from John Prescott’s house. Hull is the birth place of William Wilberforce. It is home to two professional rugby league teams, Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers. It is said that the English civil war started when the people of Hull refused to allow Charles I through its gates; it was the first act of defiance against the monarchy. Hull doesn’t smell of fish, well not anymore. I have always lived in Hull; went to shool there (West Dock Avenue then Sydeny Smith High and Leo Schultz High) and eventually studied at the University of Hull. However, I want to retire and end my days in Whitby, further up the east coast.

That may be Tenants mileage, wildly inaccurate and socially unacceptable. Get a price from your local cab firm before making the pilgrimage. I’m off London Road if you need refuge.

But it states SCATLAND under your avatar. That is why I asked.

[Spidey]

26.8 road miles from Guildford but only a stones throw from Windsor Castle.

How far can you throw?

[Bully]

How far can you throw?

I think what would I prefer to throw a stone at would be a better question.

Windsor Castle
4.54 miles (7,3 km )
Total estimated time: 10 min

Thorpe Park
10.34 miles (16,6 km )
Total estimated time: 20 min

Chessington World of Adventures
26.89 miles (43,3 km )
Total estimated time: 32 min

Guildford Spectrum
26.96 miles (43,4 km )
Total estimated time: 37 min

Now I wonder where I'd rather visit???

[Spidey]

Windsor Castle
4.54 miles (7,3 km )

10 min by car or foot, and either way - that is a long throw of a stone.

[Bully]

Okay so I exaggerated, I can't throw that far, have you never exaggerated?
