    From my experience of village life, the clique community and the pompous village hall and parish council comittee memebers are a greater threat.

    Yeh I can see your point, but it's slightly larger villages that i'm looking at so hopefully that won't be an issue!

    Actually the "all related" bit can apply to small towns. Many years ago I lived in one where you had to be careful who you were talking to if you were slagging someone else off as the two parties were often cousins.
