I'd like to give thanks to.

First of all, I wouldn't be where I am today without... Conversation Lovely evening!

Yes, it would be good to do something. How about going to a country pub? OK, where do you suggest?

What about the one just off the main road towards Henley? The King's Head? That's the one!

Yes, but the trouble is, it gets so crowded at weekends in the summer, especially if the weather is good.

What I'd really like is somewhere to sit on the grass with a beer, and to be able to talk and hear what I'm saying. Yes, the problem is that so many of the things we like to do are determined by the climate.

I mean, I'm sure the King's Head is empty in the winter.

Do you know what the most popular leisure activity in England is? Watching football? Fishing. Fishing?

Apparently, more people go fishing than do any other activity. Even in bad weather. And its nearly always the men as well. And they can be so bad- tempered if you get too close. It would be nice just to go for a walk

like they do in Italy and Greece, just before dinner, when everyone gets dressed up,

and walks up and down the main street, looking at each other, and meeting friends.

But you couldn't do that here, because it would start raining ... True.

So what's on television?
