Hail and well-met Kitty3569 Good to have you here I'm doing fine Looking forward to the 3 day weekend here in the UK How are you?

Once I know the rough type of place I’m thinking about, I tend to leave a lot of that stuff blank. Unless there is a plot point to it, I’m going to assume that a city has what it needs to trundle along. But things will not be even across the city. A poor area is maybe going to have more old...

Welcome back.

That was one of the [few] bits of the film World War Z. Okay we know Brad Pitt is The Hero, but we are introduced to the hot-shot Virologist who knows what is going on. A crack team is formed to get him where he needs to be. Brad and the Guy have got his back!!! Then he slips on the wet tail...

Just find a nice place to curl up and enjoy!

The Room [2003]? I had to look that one up. And now I have, I think it's a pass from me... :) There are plenty of films I haven't seen, but the two I feel need to see are: All Quiet on the Western Front [1930] and Wings [1927] I have seen scenes and snippets from both and know their reputations.

I find this happens too often in TV writing.

What part of the country? I love this site for looking at old maps: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=5.0&lat=56.00000&lon=-4.00000&layers=6&right=ESRIWorld

Getting lost in world-building. I'm having fun twisting the history of WWII I have only just read about the 1941 Anglo Soviet Invasion of Iran Can't think why that cropped up...

Hail and well-met Knotnu Good to have you here There are plenty of world builders around here [shyly raises a hand].

I try to remain invisible while on holiday. This goes down to the level of using local grocery and store bags when shopping. I declare myself a tourist when ever I try to speak the local language. I have been told that I give this policeman a run for his money in accent and pronunciation.

As a sort of corollary, I know 2 UK/Irish nationals that have the Irish flag on their backpack even when they are travelling on their UK passports. For me it states "Yes, I'm a tourist but don't hate me!"
