@@christophertownley6734 I said the only thing that hasn't changed is the crap weather, everything else has changed for the worse, UK is a miserable shithole that's being invaded by undesirables in dinghys
There is more rain in England and Wales but overall there are countries with so much worse weather but their countries aren't designed to look so miserable as this creates lots of miserable faced people .
13:13 How the conversation went : Dude let's go to Africa and see what it's like! Yeah sounds cool man. Let's do this! 13:40 We leave at dusk...I'll bring the beers you bring the torch don't tell anyone. And make sure you wear everyday clothes. 2 miles later: 13:51 Dude this sucks! Screw Africa I wanna go home! Yeah this sucks! When the cops get us I bet they say "the whole thing was a fool hardy exercise that was undertaken without any forethought whatsoever..." Oh yeah dude, for sure... 14:05 13:31...the good old Octopus 250 held without bail at the station.
Even if they’d made it the 22 miles to France that would’ve been one hell of an achievement. They must’ve been beyond stupid to think they’d make it all the way to Africa.
I was just a kid but OMG I remember the Land’s End tragedy. 😢
