Personally I'm sick to the back teeth of hearing about partygate, as Im sure millions of others are too. There are far more concerning matters going on in the world right now.
I'm also not happy with the Tories and some of their policies regarding the the push for zero emissions. Especially when the UK only produces just one percent of global emissions whilst China and India between them produce between 30 and 40 percent. However, I still will not vote labour in its current form, even though I always did from the 1970s onwards. What the labour party has become is a million miles away from what it stood for and represented in the past. In my opinion it no longer represents the working class but instead now represents the London elite, it has in effect become London centric. It has totally lost touch with its working class Northern heartlands and I cant see that changing anytime soon. I would go as far as to say that this is the worst labour opposition that I can remember in 50 years of voting, the quality of some of their MPs is dire to say the least. My deceased family members would be turning in their graves if they could see what labour has become. Starmer in particular must the most boring uncharismatic person I've come across as a leader of the opposition in the past 50 years. He's also a hypocrite of the highest order. So, until Labour can re connect with its Northern heartlands, including accepting Brexit, and changes its leader to someone like the late John Smith, who was in my opinion the best leader labour ever had and would have made a great PM, they won't get a big enough of a swing to form a government.

I am improving without any line dancing but going on holiday abroad. I am afraid the fact you are only on letter A of the “Boys Own Annual of The World” after so many years will mean it will be quite sometime before you reach my actual holiday spot. If I had known your study of the topic was so slow I may have gone to a country beginning with A but not Albania like you suggested or Afghanistan which is another country beginning with A.
What about Antigua that’s a long way away you know and yes I have been but not to Barbuda. I have also been to Aruba and America which is technically North America so don’t bother rushing to your book collection.

Bloody hell SP, I fear that you may be turning into a left wing version of Portillo, it's not Bradshaw's guide in your pocket, is it ?

A Bradshaw now that’s a blast from the past, it was considered indispensable to Sherlock Holmes.

You've not taken to wearing pastel shades and visiting far flung places on the train then ?

No it never really appealed to me not a pastels type of person I suppose.
