I will start off; I live about 40 minutes south of Perth in Western Australia.

Beautiful place over looking the Indian Ocean.


Melrose Park, Pennsylvania, USA.

Just north of Philadelphia, the once-and-former home of Dynaco, Atwater-Kent, Sylvania (tube division), Cunningham Tubes, Fried Speakers and much more...

We are in a center-hall colonial built in 1890 with high ceilings and large rooms - excellent for good audio (and in the winter, running tubes keeps the heating bill down!).

Santa Cruz, California, USA

Located about 90 miles south of San Francisco along the California coast, on the north end of the Monterey Bay.
Home of the Santa Cruz Beach/Boardwalk and where surfing came to the US in the late 1800' from Hawaii.

Jupiter, Florida in Palm Beach County, the closest land to the Gulf Stream and the northern limits of the subtropical zone before it goes temperate. Lots of great ocean, inshore and freshwater fishing, fabulous climate and just a nice place to live and work. Been here 32 years after leaving Toronto, Canada in 1980.

Isn't Bridlington where Yorkshirians go to die? A bit like St Annes for Lancastrians?

Wyndham the northern most town in West Australia. Population about 900 and arguably the hottest town in Australia. Hottest month is November average is 39.5C (103.1F) and coolest June with 31C (87.8F). Annual rainfall 800mm. We really only have 2 seasons wet & dry.
Spectacular scenery, crocodiles and the best fishing. The only downside is records ordered can take 2-3 weeks to get here.

Cheers
Captain Clive

Caught a cold last time I went to St Annes :D
Must admit I do like visiting Brid and St Annes, we dont have any sea here in the Peak District and you guys are an easy drive away.

However, I currently spend most of my time in the wonderful Georgian city of Bath... I am studying a masters degree in Physics there. It's a truely beautiful place and has many people intrested in 'old' things... such as Ale, Architecture, vintage guitars... and vinyl!

Here is a pic of Bath's most famous landmark... the Royal Crescent!

Oh how I love Bath, My late friend Tim studied electronics at Bath Uni, late 70s early 80s
The bars used to have turntables behind and played lots of diverse music, basically anything you wanted.
Back then the hot club was Moles, I remember Tears for Fears playing before they got famous.
Next holiday I must visit. :D

Ah yes, Budapest. Truly lovely. I have spent nearly 2 months there, on and off, staying in the hotel just to the right of the Chain Bridge. Also, have often walked up to the Citadel across to the Palace etc. past where this picture was taken from.
