    Did you mean to say its what we do best…. moan….. or do you not consider yourself English Panda?

    Have to say the best part of a holiday is coming home to me…. especially from a hot climate to see how green England is…. its a shock to the senses… especially Yorkshire… Gods own country :D

    For me, it depends if it is a hotel or self-catering!

    Which ever hotel I have ever stayed in, ignores the Do Not Disturb sign, and inevitably, I am next to the cleaner’s cupboard!!!

    However, self-catering, you can make a cuppa whenever you want, etc etc.

    Both have pros and cons – just lucky I live in SW France! Self-catering, especially if hubby wakes up first and I get a cuppa in bed! :D However, I have to do the cleaning! :(

    I have dual nationality either British or Jamaican.

    Best part of a holiday for me is being there, relaxing or sight seeing and just generally enjoying myself otherwise what’s the point of spending the time, money and effort in going?

    Ok… but my question was do you consider yourself English? I think you told me you were from Grand Cayman a while ago or am I confused?

    You are confused. I lived in the Caymans for a while.

    I am British, the component country in which I was born is England so I am also English.

    However, my father was born in Jamaica, so I have dual nationality.
