Do you live near there Boliver?
Im just curious - there's this song that's hit the charts again originally from the 70's by Tony christie (one of our UK stars of the 70s).  You probably have heard of it though right?! ;)

I guess you don't get to see much of your country then?!

mind you there are people in England like that but I think in some cases that maybe through local ignorance ::).  We still have a north/south divide that harks back to the dark ages!!  Im lucky I have lived and travelled in the very south and fairly northern areas of England, and visiting other regions to the east and west.  My favourite place is Amberley and South Downs in West Sussex.  I went to Amberley Wild Brooks as in John Ireland's piano work - to get the inspiration  :D
