Does anyone else think that posting about English regionalism, morphing into a discussion about Anglo-Scots rivalry, then coming round to demotic etymology and advanced linguistics, then moving on to a chat about which languages should be taught in schools, finishing with an acimonious echange about various persons' true identities, is straying somewhat from the purpose for which this forum was founded? Have we, in the process of creating this conversation-post which takes about 5 minutes to scroll through with a good mouse, advanced the cause of the FC?

I shall just say, though, in conformity to this random in-and-out running, that I am sitting in the top floor of a wobbly old 16th Century half-timbered building, looking at a very pleasant sunset over a pretty little Shropshire village. Nice country this... why do I have to go abroad again? Yuk.
