MattS Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Having not been on a European vacation since 2002, my trip last week to Oxford wasn't going to break that streak; my voyage there being made "under orders" so to speak. But before you pack the kids in the wagon and send your wife round to the in-laws for a fortnight in August, consider this 2005 missive from the BBC, who said that -- sadly -- Oxford is the largest city in England without its own strip-club. Despite this and other glaring omissions to the city's social calendar, I did manage to seek out some of the other earthy delights that Oxford has to offer. Of course, I couldn't photograph them. However, I offer you these views of a very visually compelling place: Link to comment

Boffin Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 What's this? You were in my neck of the woods and no PM? Steve1962 works in Oxford as well. Hospitality could have been yours for the taking. Hmph. Hope you had a great trip despite the terrible weather we had last week. If its any consolation today has been warm and sunny as I visited the Classic Motorcycle club's festival of 1000 bikes at Mallory Park racetrack. Ride tale to follow. Andy Link to comment
Bob Palin Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 And the really important question? How was the beer??? None of those beers appear to be from Oxford! From left to right: London, Wiltshire (close), Yorkshire, Dorset, Scotland, Ireland, can't see the rest clearly. There are some really good breweries in Oxfordshire - Brakspear, Morrells, Hook Norton for a start. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 None of those beers appear to be from Oxford! I searched Yahoo Images for "British Beer" and this was the best I could come up with. Thanks for the correctiion. I don't think I could get through a day without somebody on the board nitpicking at least one of posts. Have a great day... Shawn Link to comment

Andy Andy is right , you missed out there , you could have been bored rigid by two old duffers with a keen interest in history [ one of whom could have also helped you with your interest in alcohol ........ no names , no pack drill :grin: ] Glad you enjoyed your visit anyway .
