Tango Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 What places have you got on your bucket list to visit? Near or far, doesn't matter. I want to visit the Menin Gate and Oradour-sur-Glane as being discussed on another thread. What about you guys? Or even places you've been that you'd recommend to others? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oradour is fantastic and I’d thorough recommend it mate. The Menin Gate is on my list as one of my relatives is on the memorial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I always wanted to visit Auschwitz but given developments in recent years regarding Poland I ain't going there! This is on the list though......where my father was a POW! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's still plenty of excellent places in the UK to visit, Clive. Northumberland is still one of my favourite places to visit. Must have been there 10 times over the years and I never get bored of the area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Oh, and I do like Cornwall too, but it's just too mad busy during the summer months. Fantastic outside of that, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sung with my Choir in the going down of the sun ceremony at the Menin Gate, 2019 I believe. it is held every night. Very moving experience and very worth a visit, we also sang at the Tyne Cott cemetery, which was very difficult indeed, a sad place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northumberland......been there delivering to RAF Boulmer, which is right on the coast, bugger all else there though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I would love to go to Tobermory, or back to Cambridge. Also Galway, although not the UK. In fact I would love to go anywhere in Scandinavia, I travelled around there a bit in 1987 and swore I would go back, haven't yet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to service analysers in the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, so I'd head down early autumn and early spring for the routine services. A day to drive down, a day to service the analysers and a day to drive back, nice and leisurely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was late February and chuffing cold, but I'd go back there again in a heartbeat! Brilliant place, bit expensive, but just stunning scenery! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to go there. I remember going out for a Saturday night in Helsinki and spending £100 which in 1987 was a lot to spunk on a night out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what hit me most there, the joint graves were two men were buried together. I naively asked why, the answer was they could not work out which body parts belonged to which man although they knew there were two and sometimes their identity. That really hit home to me. We went to Tyne Cott as a Cornish Choir as there are many men from the Duke of Cornwall Light Infantry buried there. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fun so far. One of my old customers retired many years ago from working in the hospital labs. I met him again at one of his old colleagues retirement dinner and he was telling me how he was spending his retirement welding stuff together and also cutting up other stuff with a plasma cutter that he'd acquired! He was as happy as a pig in shit! Bucket lists are not just places, but also "things"! Burn pits? Why not? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
