Matt you are an Adonis, though you are also half Italian! ;-) Simon, it was a list of some of the things I will and won't miss. Despite having been well outside of the M25, east of Oxford Street and to those places you have mentioned, mountain biking in mud up to my ankles has never been my thing wherever it may be. Mountain biking is your passion remember. Though if you want to compile a list of your own I will be sure t0 link to it... Thank you all for the lovely comments.

Will miss you guys. Glad we got a brief cross-over though. Eternally grateful for your hospitality in my first week, for introducing me to some lovely people, and for taking me to some rad spots. Also thanks for the gumboots and bits and bobs. Somewhat pissed we didn't get away with the sailor outfits though. If a certain box goes missing enroute to Sydney, don't blame Charlie and I. xo Love.

As to this list... really? On the plus side, you list our postcode system as one of the ten best things about Britain?! How about multiculturalism? Tolerance to drunk Aussies? All-year-round mountain biking in mud up to your ankles? Pies? Our music scene? The beautiful countryside - did you make it to the Lakes, Scotland, Wales, anywhere outside the M25? On the minus side comes our stiff upper lip?! You obviously didn't spend much time east of Oxford Street, mate! And as to our supposed misplaced sentimentality - for every flower that was laid for Lady Di, there were about thirty sick jokes doing the rounds. Again, it depends on where you hang out and with whom. Anyway, good luck wherever you wash up next. Meanwhile, if you're ever in London again... you'll need to get away from the PR pack and the obvious haunts a bit more! So long and thanks for all the fish…

I think I agree with every single one of them. Well, maybe the new Fish & Chip flavour crisps/chips from Walkers would edge out the Monster Munch......but it's a close one. All the best matey and sorry we never ended up having that warm beer. Say hello to the old crew and make sure you sink an ice cold James Squire's Pils for me! A bloody good list mate.

Fuck you, Gain, and the horse you rode in on. I am an Adonis. (you forgot to mention the teeth) Take care on the long trip back - look forward to reading about it here 'may not be good looking, may not be the fittest'…?
