Just had a thought that the OP may have some massive triangulation plot underway to unmask us all in real life... OP... say it isn't so...!

  1. Beach - about 1 min walk
  2. Airport - about 20 min drive
  3. Mountains - apparently we have one about 20 mins drive away but I didn't even know it was a mountain, it's pretty small. 'Proper' mountains I'd say about 45 mins drive.
  4. Starbucks - 20 mins drive
  5. Harvey Nics - 1 hourish drive
Allthecake · 17/12/2017 21:46

Why do you ask?

This is one of those threads where it's more interesting to post about yourself than it is to read other people's responses.
