Hi Daminxa
Yeah don't get me wrong - I loved loved lurrved Derbyshire in rustica - top of Kinder Scout deffo one of my favourite places on earth - but f**k me how horrid did I find Derby - not just climactically and architecturally but overwhelmingly socially - for me twas a right viper's nest !!
Ahhh, Camborne School of Mines - long gone that hilarious initiation rite whereby the newbies all stripped naked, were tarred and feathered before parading through all the pubs in town clutching the genitalia of the person in front before washing off in the local fountain...

We made our own fun in them days, laddie....

So don't they do the student initiation rites anymore? And do they still have 'The Bottle Match' with The Royal School of Mines?

My best mate from Uni (I was at RSM) was from Illogan (somewhere in the vicinity of Redruth/Camborne I believe). I've never met anyone before or since could hold their drink so well or came up with more imaginative swear words or put downs! She's a teacher now...
