Perhaps they won't: we had an Indian Fayre Queen this year.

Thought you were mid-Devon :P

Where I lived growing up, in my entire secondary school (550 people) through all seven years, we only ever had one student from Nigeria, two students who were half Egyptian (and Scottish the other half), and one who was Chinese. The rest were all British of sorts (don't recall having anyone Irish, either!).

I wouldn't have said there was any more racism where I lived then to now (much more multicultural here). It is just less common to have such a wide mix of people where I used to live compared to where I live now. I'd say if anything there was less of it there, it was a *nice* area type thing and nobody really ever did anything to upset anyone. Breaking news of the month was when an ex copper's son egged the phone box and tipped the rubbish bin all over it, type of thing :rotfl:

Living in a city as I do now, there is more of most things ie. more money, more stabbings, more people generally.

When I said I was "here" earlier, I was referring to Devon in general, not the South Hams.

It's all pretty good, even the bit in the middle, which isn't a National Park or ANOB.

Their loss!
