community? :rubchin:

Also, surely her policies encouraged your OH to move away from this parochial little one-pit pony town and take up with an upwardly-mobile, Jaguar owning southern entrepreneur like yourself? True social mobility in action imo.

Also, I love the name of the pub. 'The Rusty Dudley' :hehe:
It's no 'The Legend of Oily Johnnies', but it's close.

Cockermouth's OK. Greatly improved by the floods. Whitehaven's a bit of a kip. Keswick's beautifully situated, but very touristy.

That's not strictly relevant, but it is true.

I am frequently surprised at the levels of hatred shown towards them. I thought it was just a bit of a giggle but it really isnt is it. Some of you really, really hate them.

How desperately sad for you
