The flight from bangkok was fine, if 12 hours folded like a piece of origami can be fine :). We arrived on time, headed to the car hire and all was smooth as silk.
The M25 was.. as expected and slow, then onto the M1 and again all pretty smooth, we then stopped in Northampton to arrange 2 new sim cards for the phones and a top up for internet, and the silk begins to develop some wrinkles.
An hour later we rolled into Ashby to as always a lovely warm welcomewe settled briefly and began with the phones... one worked fine... the other... didnt at all, also the internet dongle was playing a VERY unusual game, where it loaded up software that bore no relation to it and the required connection, after 1 and a half hours on the phone to the mobile company... we progressed no further, but at least the beginnng of my new life in the UK wasnt to disimilar to OZ.. me being angry about poor service and spending far to long on the phone complaining about it :(
A drive to burton on trent to get new sim cards etc allowed us to see some of the beauty of England as it was "Burton in Bloom" just beuatiful with the flowers out all over and the swans on the trent, all in all was just gorgeous, sadly no pics coz we
were enjoying the whole buying a sim card experience.
