If our "global geography" hadn`t been quite so important Gary, you might
indeed now be apostrophising in a Little old English village somewhere in
the Cotswolds, or on Exmoor, or even in the Highlands of Scotland.
Maybe you could have an ancient seat in the Hills and "Dales"? surrounding
the City of York, waiting for it`s 32nd Earl to establish a "home coming" of
immense nostalgia, and emotional hysteria, for the flag waving peasants
lining the cobbled streets in their multitude.
A word of warning tho`. Be on your guard if you enter the City of Oxford.
Rogues and vagabonds hide in the
darkest alleys. They will cut you to ribbons, and rip out your entrails if
you so much as look at one.
Delete this quickly, lest one of them return suddenly from a long crusade.
