What happened? Did they sell out and never print another run?

The bit about bombs got my attention. Is the place really that bad?

The locals frequently refer to Eton and Windsor as "downtown Slough".

Have fun,

I'm from the Netherlands, born during WW2, but moved in 2010 to the USA at 66 to marry my penpal from 1963.

Now THERE's a romantic story, Eborian. Nice Born during WW2, you're probably my vintage.

I like the 'gathering momentum going downhill', John, but you're still only my childrens' age!

I was born here in Co. Kildare, just 40 miles from Dublin, Did time in England & Germany and I eventually brought my Surbiton, Surrey lass back here with me, only to create a large 'English Garden' in Kildare.....Not much downhill, hereabouts. It's pretty flat.

Speaking of romantic. Dang, I'm jealous. (Having had my shots I've since given up -- and the momentum of going downhill increases by the square of time.)

Central Coast of California, born and raised...that's Pismo Beach/San Luis Obispo area, if you know CA, or an hour north of Santa Barbara. Lived in the state of Utah for 11 years going to school. Had a year stint in Edinburgh, Scotland, as well as a stint in Japan. Now back in California again. Only ever saw one other male skirt wearer in my area, a guy in a black maxi at one of the local beaches...likely a visitor from somewhere. It's kind of a vacation spot for people all over the world. Anyone ever been to my area of CA?

I've visited Hearst Castle a couple of times.

My brother and mother live in Orange.

As my forum moniker suggests I've lived in the Rose City for basically my whole adult life. Though for 7 years I did a LOT of travelling as a consultant.

PB - I visited Hearst's Castle back when I was in grade school (a loooooong time ago :shock: ). The the last time I was through your neighborhood was on the Coast Starlight (Amtrak) traveling from San Diego via the Surfliner to LA and on to Oakland on the Starlight.
I do have a cousin who lives nearer to you. In Cambria the last I heard.

I'm afraid you got something mixed up.

I was born in the Netherlands in 1944 and went through the Hungerwinter. A few years I had an American penpal (1963/68) and we reconnected again in 2007. After a few visits we married and now I live in Allentown, PA.

And indeed, our story is quite romantic, it melts people when we tell the long version. :)
