From Wikipedia:

Beautiful. So tranquil. Only about 3 and half hours away . I'm further down east coast.

Where in the world did you wrongly think somewhere was located? ... ( Please tell me it's not just me)....

Well, they were both once a part of the British Empire so maybe you are just behind the times.

As for me, I used to think my head was on my shoulders, but then in my late teens my dad straightened me out and told me it was up my a$$.

I'm fact it's only 80 miles away from there where I nearly drowned in sea when I was 11 lol...( Notice the age... 11)...but was pulled out and saved by a young woman. Redcar! Don't know if you've heard of it. Was on the annual fireman and families coach trip day out .

I never knew where The Gulf was....I thought it was the Red Sea. In fact it is a bit further along towards India.
