"I would instead suggest the various angry parties travel to Fingals Cave on Staffa as the long journey, early ferry, lengthy bus journey and heaving charter boat trip will focus their minds sharply and solutions would be much more forthcoming."

Lovely, though it would probably be easier to listen to Mendlesson's Fingal Cave Overture and just dream of better times!

'Berkshire-centric, Anglo-centred travesty.' Is it really as bad the North/South Divide? We live in North Yorks by the way, though originally from the 'South' and all I can say Yorkshire people are the friendliest people out. The one thing you learn from up here is the long tongue of history, roman, scandinavian and then Norman that makes each region of Britain a fascinating place to live in, and yes I did think of Tiompan in the wilds of Scotland not making it.

I live about a 20 minutes drive away from Uffington - not accessible by public transport so am dependent on friends to take me there. Bearing in mind I have been called 'ignorant' by Evergreen Dazed and accused of promoting 'alternative' and 'spiritual' views in the face of his logic do you honestly think I would agree to meet him anywhere, let alone Uffington. I offered my olive branch on the thread in question. It was ignored - end of.

Cheshire isnt a fascinating place to live in, it's mostly flat boring farm fields , i'm sure some might disagree, but they'd be wrong, in my opinion.

Fancy not thinking of me down here in Cornywall moss. We have it all here with plenty more still to find I'm sure. Keeps me busy ;-)
