Oh,man. Sorry to hear.

I was lucky enough to have met him as a youngster and have never forgotten him.

RIP Gary,

We have done lot of foreign travelling over the years particularly after I semi-retired in 2014 and fully retired in 2017.

However, since moving to South Devon we no longer feel the need or have the urge to tear around the world.

We have retained our passports "just in case" we change our minds but I doubt we'll do that.

As Mick @Newportnobby says, there is still plenty to see over here.

Quote from: thebrighton on July 17, 2026, 10:16:09 AMI've now had to pay to get a photo driving license which I'll have to pay to renew every few years.

It's even more fun when you don't have a driving licence for medical reasons. Although offering to sue people for disability discrimination does sometimes remind them there are other documents they should accept. Pathetic it gets to that level really.

These days I basically have a passport to buy and sell property not to actually go anywhere, although leaving the UK for somewhere like Albania gets ever more tempting.
