When you can step out of your front door and see a castle and a cathedral that have got probably 400 years on the entire American continent (in terms of us knowing about it anyway), nevermind Austrailia, Southern Africa and NZ (where a lot of our toruists come from). Its not surprising to see so many tourists in the UK. Europe has one thing that a lot of the civilised world doesn't have and that's history. When you factor in you can fly to Spain and back in the time it takes to fly from Boston to LA its not surprising loads of tourists come here as part of a European tour. Quite often people go on holiday to have something that they can't get in their own country, with us its a prolonged spell of decent weather with other countries its history.
Not everyone goes abroad to sit on a beach/by a pool. I've been on more than one holiday where I've hardly done any of that. In fact my last holiday to Malta (at Easter) was spent mainly seeing the sites (despite the fact I'd actually been there for a day before) and although the weather was nice it wasn't warm enough to sunbathe, but was ideal for sightseeing.
I would think that this country has a lot to offer tourists (especially if their country is having a usual period of extreme weather at the time). People may not want to come for just one general reason and could combine different motives such as watching the Premiership/seeing Buckingham Palace etc./ walking round the lakes/ visiting the home of a favourite celeb(s) the list is nearly endless
I'm not open about swinging for one main reason I'm hoping to work in the public sector. Although I don't think I could be fired for swinging on the grounds of it being 'unprofessional' (not sure it is all that much and it would be an interesting case if someone sued for discrimination). I do think (or maybe that should be worry) if those that dictate if I go up a grade (touching wood he gets a job in the first place) knew I wouldn't get to be promoted as it were. The risks and perceived worry outweigh any of the possible benefits so its going to be unlikely for me to ever reveal myself as a swinger (to all but a handful of people) or for me to appear with my face on cam regularly.
A leading Scottish politican was allegedly at some swingers party/orgy (I don't remember the full deatils) and it was reported in the paper and he ended up loosing his job as a result (I think). Swinging is still not at all tolerated as well as it should be (especially by certain generations). I'm unaware of someone being fired for being a swinger but it wouldn't surprise me if it has happened somewhere in the world. (Something I think if it were to happen would be a disgrace). Yet maybe that's because those that are paranoid are right to be paranoid and so don't like to show their faces in what is quite a public website (more members than the population of all but a few of our major cities- UK).
If one person at a party/gathering doesn't want to show their face on cam then that should be accepted and if it can be avoided without turning the camera off then all's well but if not the camera should be turned off. (This coming from someone who is quite happy to admit he sometimes looks for cams to perve)
Hi everyone although this is my 2nd post I'm a long time reader and a long time chatter in chat.
As a bi-guy who has already been quoted in this topic (admittedly the quote was taken slightly out of context) I feel I could add to this. I've always been honest (as far as I can remember on my profile- some of the text is fairly new but my status has remained the same). I've met with a couple who decided half way through the meet that they weren't interested in part because I was bi (although the man was at least bi-cur). Others (females and couples) say No bi males but are quite happy to have single st8 males. This always confuses me as if I'm there to meet the fem then that's what should matter I'm not going to jump any guys that happen to be there just because I'm bi.
As to other bi-guys on this site well I don't use this site for that purpose (prefer a different site which is more specialised in same sex sex and most of the bi/gay guys that are on here feature on there too) but if a reasonable one was to fall into my lap I'm not going to say no. Having said that some of the (few) men that contact me on here have st8 in their profile so they reduce their chances (to almost nil) straightaway by not being honest in their profile.
I can understand some straight people not being entirely honest in their profile but they can't expect the same number of meets because they aren't honest in their profile.
Can i be added to the list please Earthy
