@punishmenthurts @z3z @HighlandLawyer @simon_brooke Having driven in both places yes, driving a hundred miles each way in a day is something I do fairly often in the US. I've done 700+ miles in a day before now. Driving Bristol to London or Birmingham seemed a lot harder. I've lived in places in the UK where some of the buildings have existed longer than the US - I do still make jokes about a short course on US history being all that's needed.

@llondel @punishmenthurts @z3z @HighlandLawyer I've owned and lived in -- and indeed you've visited me in, Dave -- a house older than the United States!

I spent a bunch of my childhood in a really old apartment building in Vancouver - like, a hundred years, not even, at the time. Place was built in 1903 (proudly said "1895" over the door, but I know someone who is a bit of an historian and they say maybe they started it then, but no) or something. I'm on the new side of the "new world." 😜

@simon_brooke @punishmenthurts @z3z @HighlandLawyer This is true, fun times, those visits. Cambridge has been there over 800 years, and parts of the church in my village near there date back to the 1200s.
