    The South

    Travelled down to Dorset on Monday for a meeting yesterday. Stayed in a nice B&B in the lovely zzomerset countryside beautifulview from the window and all that.

    Later I learnt only cash was acceptable dint have enough so the wee wifey let me stay and ask me to send a cheque when I get back home.

    So I'm writing it the now... Are people in zomerset not just lovely?

          Not just Somerset, Dorset too. Mrs. W went to collect some dry cleaning a couple of months back, went to pay but realised she'd left her dosh at home, they let her take the clothes and said to just drop the money in next time she was passing. In addition, if it rains and there's washing on the line, our elderly neighbours not only take it in, she irons it and puts the folded pile on our dining room table.
          The vegetarian option.

              Yeah but in London, they will take in your washing, take your TV, your cash, jewellery AND then stab your in the face and pour petrol over you. Now that's community spirit.

                Thats nothing, up in Liverpool there's a pub where you get a free drink, then a free sh@g, then another free drink and a packet of crisps.
                I havn't been myself, but the missus has been five times

                  It's very generous given the price of petrol.
