Contrasts.


  The USA is a large country totally full of contrasts and, because of that, conflicts.

I've already commented on the eating habits, and - although there could be much more written on that subject, I think enough is enough...! I will be listing my items still to be partaken of, but they are getting lower and lower after our visit to "5 Guys" (hamburger with what are supposed to be the best french fries - I didn't think so, but there you are).  and a pancake house (Ihop) with probably the worst coffee in the world, the most horrible concoctions of breakfast pancakes with bacon - fried eggs and syrups and jam, whipped cream - all together - I guess everybody hopped after that........

A bit of their history is here: http://www.graftingardeners.co.uk/history-londons-commons/ and some are used by the well known  London Buses. Some are criss-crossed by main roads, some have public golf courses, some have tennis courts, both in concrete and in grass.... The special thing about these 'Commons' is their size....They are immense. In pure ground value they must be worth billions of billions of pounds sterling, and yet there is rarely any attack made on their status. It is rather astounding! Just for the record, there is another, ...
