Yeah, they may not be too keen on you moving in and claiming the mountain as your own.

Don't see how they could object morally after 1982.

It has under floor heating, it will bankrupt you if you turn it on again in the evening after charging it up overnight on nuclear electricity



Would that be postal Essex or legal Essex ?

As someone whose family has migrated in the other direction can we say that now you are in "Ooh - Arrrh" country you are miles from civilization, rather than years from civilization?
Seriously thought, I find that folks are much the same the world over once you get under the veneer of so called civilization.

Guess that's one way of looking at it John However, whilst personally I adore London and see that as *real* civilization, where we were in Essex was perceived by us (and most of our friends/family - back in Hampshire where we originally moved from) as the a*** end of the country, lol! At least now we are within a stone's throw of some very nice places with friendly people - we found many people in Essex had a real attitude problem apart from anything else. That said my maternal grandparents came from Norfolk - think webbed feet and all that

As a kid in the 1950's, we travelled by bus.
In these buses the British School of Motoring advertised for customers using a poster.
The poster showed a map of Britain driving.
Wales was holding the steering wheel and Cornwall was working the pedals.

I will let you decide what Essex was doing.

It's just the result of getting your Jackson Pollock's squashed by the toilet seat.
