I was disappointed when visiting Andorra last year that, despite the land border being manned, we never stopped driving through and therefore didn’t get a stamp. Andorra itself was also a bit...

I’ve never been to Andorra but it would be a good stamp to get. Apparently the absence of customs posts within the EU doesn’t mean they can’t stamp you, just they don’t do automatically. I need to...

That’s an intersting dimension, I’d not thought of that. Just adds more complication to something that needn’t be complicated.

I’ve been looking around and thought giving church a final chance after the crap I have been dealt with before in churches. With them trying to force me into relationships with members of the...

Hi Rab. Thanks for your comment. That’s concerning to read, and it is not healthy when a church acts in such a way where the core substance and message is clouded out by presentation. I do hope you...

View ArticleComment on Review: A Ride in the Neon Sun, by Josie Dew by C
It’s a great aim of yours to read only female-authored travel writing, but why do you feel that you need to critically review these books and find faults in them?
View ArticleComment on Review: A Ride in the Neon Sun, by Josie Dew by Simon Varwell
Hello C. If you don’t mind me saying so, that’s a strange question. Reviewing books is a concept probably as old as books themselves. There’s nothing wrong with reviewing them and exploring what one...

Britishness is nothing to do with geography. That’s why the people of Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands are fanatically British, but certain people in Scotland and Wales aren’t. Even within these...
View ArticleComment on Scottish v British – the false choice by Simon Varwell
Hi R. I agree with your point about “Soviet” identity. Indeed some may continue to feel British for political/nostalgic reasons, or indeed for geographical reasons (I disagree that Britishness isn’t...
View ArticleComment on The Britishness challenge by Simon Varwell
