Anyway, I went 2 see the info on this programme and, lo and behold, its good old Florida!!!!!
 So this begs me 2 ask why do all the travel journalists(both on TV and in travel sections of newspapers), travel shows, travel documentaries, etc. always pinpoint Florida as the place 2 go in the USA????? And whenever I hear of people going on vacation 2 the USA and I ask them where they are going I always get Florida as the answer!!! If only all these people really knew the truth about Florida in that it has one of the highest crime rates in the whole of the country with drugs, murder, armed robberies, gang violence and now child sex offending!! Yet all these people all seem 2 flock there and its so widely promoted!!!!
Really, the only concept of the USA that the Brits have is either NYC, Florida, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and California as a whole!!!!! Come on, Brits, theres more 2 that beautiful country than just those places!! How about expanding your horizons a bit!!!!????? I have seen someof the most beautiful places on earth in the USA and they are not in these places and also I have literally travelled far off the beaten track 2 some of the most obscure places where no foreigner has ever been 2 and, particularly when we have stopped, directly they hear my British accent they look at me as if I am an alien from another planet!!!  Either that or sheer fascination and I get asked about The Beatles, the Royal Family and tea!!!
Come on Brits, explore that country more and I assure U, U will meet some totally fascinating people!!! 
Dont just make a beeline for Florida or NYC or LA or LV!!!!!

Your constant generalisation if British people is sickening, take a look at yourself Gold and you typify your generalisation i.e YOUR A STUPID BRAIN DEAD FUCKWIT  | |

Gold319 said: MrTee said: okay, try Camden NJ and Compton Calif. Also, I HAVE experienced REAL USA, not necessarily going 2 those specific places u mentioned, but I have been 2 Philly, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas and I have seen the bad sides of those cities!! In fact, I have lived near Minneapolis and that city doesnt just consist of only the Mall Of America and Prince, either!! A few years ago it was nicknamed "Murderopolis" because at that time there was more homicides per 10,000(or 100,000, I cant remember now) people than there was in NYC!!! Yeah she did a package tour of trailer parks, she fitted in so well she stayed for 8 darn years!!!!! | |

CynthiasSocks said: Some of my Fla pics:
I've been to many beaches- Fla has the best fine, white sand. It isn't there naturally, they ship it in by the truck full. Hey CynthiaSocks, have you ever been to Siesta Key, Florida? It's not in the Florida Keys, as so many people seem to think, but it's close to Sarasota. If not, I highly recommend it, the beach is beautiful, pretty white sand that never gets hot even when the temperature is in the high 80's. I've also been to Daytona Beach, Clearwater Beach, Tigertail Beach, Capri Beach, and probably some other places that I'm forgetting right now. Florida is a great place to go on vacation, I love it there! RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
