Oh my This is a terribly grim place. The weather is normally abysmal. The people are either locals who hate you setting foot in the county or ex Londoners who bought up all the pokey little cottages which tends to be ideally stereotypical and everyone hates them for sure.

The panorama is nothing, not a patch, on the scale of Snowdonia or most of beautiful Scotland. Its overrun with with hikers and cars because the region isn't THAT large. Over rated theres nothing there when you need it but IS perhaps when you dont, like a crappy roadside disgustingly fatty burger trailer with overpriced teas except in central Exeter but then I expect thats how it should be.To cap it all you have Will Hand head local chief in command senior water dowser and Meteorological Self Healer, Paul Dawlish from the rabbit Warren, his sidekick, Dave Naylor t'other side of the Moor often cannot be found, Nick 'the Otter' Gardner always building a damn for himself and several east & West Dorset types who try to be part of the cult. ANY OFFENCE CAUSED IS NOT INTENDED regards Dave R If you want depressingly grim and terrible come to Wolverhampton! It has shootings, stabbings, chavs, and illegal immigrants. Most of the city is taken up by chav council estates. It as a 1970's town centre that tries to pretend to be a modern 21st century city centre. There’s new pavements and lampposts but most of the buildings are from the first half of the C20th. The newest shops in the city centre are shopping centres that were built in the 1960's . There's nothing of note, the University is near the bottom of the league table, it should be called a polytechnic at most. There's no modern new buildings towering toward heaven. The old buildings are dilapidated and dirty. No prestigious entertainment halls. No luxury hotels. Our Global and national renown manufacturing industries have all but gone. WHY DO I LIVE IN THIS DAMN CITY !!!!! |

ANY OFFENCE CAUSED IS NOT INTENDED regards Dave R -------------------- Well I like it and don't have any of your problems when I go there. ...... uk.sport.cricket is quite a good site for racism :-( Dave, S.Essex Well, I dont live in the SW, but wish that I did. It has got to be better than Reading. Just for info Dave R, I do find your article offensive and not amusing in the slightest. Why bother to prodiuce such a rant, when you knew that it would cause offence to some? Looks as though you are heading for the 'blocked senders folder'. Pity, because sometimes you do have something sensible to say regarding the weather. Eric, Reading - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Oh Dave! Mr. Perennially Grumpy! That personal raincloud continues to rain on you, doesn't it? *)) I wish you good weather this weekend and a super day on Monday! Paul |

Jimmy Mullen was a hero of mine in my early days.
I would have moved to Wolverhampton, but my father used to take me to watch Derby County then. Peter J "Joe Egginton" wrote in message ...

I bet you get that response wherever you go - at least when they get to know you for the ignorant bore that you are. Say hello to my kill-file. -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK.
