lozzachino Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 According to the newspaper of integrity and hard hitting journalism, the Daily Mail, this is the top 50 things to do in Britain! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-2607636/The-50-things-Britain-lifetime.html how many have you ticked off? And whats on your bucket list before you come out to Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebradeb Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 So I have done 12 of the things on the list, no sure how many more I could do. Always fancied Wimbledon but never been able to justify time off work to go- teachers already get bad enough press but literally short of a strike day no chance - these have never been held over Wimbledon sadly imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozzachino Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I think i had ten, to some degree, like i have been to wimbledon but didnt see a Brit play on our court. Also been to stonehenge but not at midsummer sunrise. We got our tickets in the ballot and managed to get tickets allocated on a Saturday! It was my birthday as well so I always wonder if the ticket person did it on purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebradeb Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hopefully they did, that would be lovely! - my friend goes every year & has promised me year on year he would take me. It never panned out though, useless creature. Think it was because I was too easy going about it and he always had a queue of louder people wanting in on his allocation. Now next time I won't be here! I hope so done does a WA bucket list we can all start planning towards! That would be fab. A 100 things to do get there..... a 100,000 things to do before I can get there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portlaunay Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Oh my god, that's so typically Daily Fail. One foot firmly in the past. (Even 'Ask Jeeves' ceased to exist at least five years ago ) How does that represent contemporary Britain, it's hardly embracing multiculturalism is it? Eat at a Gordon Ramsey restaurant? Are they serious? Why? Where's "Eat a Balti in Birmingham"? or "Visit the (magnificent) Neasden Temple"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsquare Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Only 6 for me. There would be more if it included watching them on tv. There should be a less cultural list though.. See a street fight where a young woman screams "Leave it Darren, e's not worf it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottlesofbecks Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 15 Though I do think there is a few that could be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, its a pretty crap list like you I can think of so many other things that should be on a list like that guess it's aimed at the standard daily mail reader with little imagination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 About 18, though the wife has some others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlaunay Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 There would be more if it included watching them on tv. :laugh: That's fantastic, there should definitely be a 'Top 100 list of stuff you really should do or visit but why bother when it's on the telly box, before you die'.

Sideshowdeb Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 There should be a less cultural list though.. See a street fight where a young woman screams "Leave it Darren, e's not worf it". Haha, love it! If you made a list I think I could score quite highly?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo and scott Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 wow, ive only done 4 !! thats really bad, think i need to get out more :-/ i do have a big list of places to see before we leave for oz ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthomas010 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I've done 4, but what a shocking list - have a pint in the Rovers Return? It is the Daily Mail so i'm not too bothered about failing their test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs&MrW Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 We have our 'Europe' bucket list... it is such an amazing place with so many different cultures... we just want to see most of it because we know it won't be as easy and we'll probably focus on visiting Oz for the years ahead. Going to Paris this week. Really would like to go to Amsterdam and Greece. We've been to Normandy and most of Italy (our favourite country)... we need to go to Sicily now to finish Italy off.

Bibbs Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 1 / 50 .. and that's the London Eye, which I went on just before I came here. Wasn't impressed. But looking at the list, I don't think I'd want to do any of the other 49 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest10912 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I had about ten, but thought it was a stupid list. Stonehenge is worth a visit any time of the year, not just the longest day and Wimbledon is an experience whether or not you see a British player. I thought others were just really trivial. Before we left, this time and the first time, I wanted to go to Alton Towers and stay at Cliveden (did both). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
