Disappointing 10 on Devon (lived there for 38 years and still work there!).

11 for SE Asia - backpacked from Singapore to Golden Triangle (again, nearly 40 years ago!), and have been back for a few holidays. Should really have got a couple more, but jumped in too quickly with my answers. Had no idea about Phillipines, though!

I’m from Barnstaple mate. My dad still lives there. I know of 4/5 different clarets’ families around here.

If your family would want to meet up for a beer when we are on anytime, I can pass on my details

My niece's/sister aren't footy fans.
But I'll be down at least once before Christmas though.
If there's a Clarets match on, I'll gladly have a few beers and watch it in the pub!
