To use an awful pun - it seems the state of the economy is beginning to bite. See page 5 of this week's Dawlish Post - article headed "More Needing Help As Cash Crisis Bites".

I see why you can spot similarities between Bourton and here. Bourton describes itself as the Venice of the Cotswolds. Is there anywhere around here do you think that could describe itself as the ...
