I must admit that I also hate large groups of people, I don't even go south very often to see the kids, preferring to wait until they visit here...

I swear that I can smell people, as soon as I hit Dunbarton.

I had a shock when I first joined the Army, I went from a hillbilly country setting to Singapore, that was then the biggest city in the world, and it shocked me to my roots, and I have hated anything other than the smallest towns ever since

Everyone seems to be on a mobile phone. Do they need to be in touch with the world 24 hours a day? And texting? We have mobiles for emergencies in the car, and I don't think I have ever texted. Last time I wandered through a supermarket every other shopper was on the phone. What's going on? Crowds of people all talking loudly into mobiles - my idea of a nightmare.
