And just for the Francophobes (that's them wot don't like the French) amongst us - click here to read a brief history of French immigration to these shores en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_migration_to_the_United_Kingdom ('ere, I wonder how many of us have got French blood in our veins eh? )
DM - I love this idea of yours of a Moan-In Centre in the town. But I disagree with you with regard to its funding. I think it should be paid for by those that wish to use it.
