      Well it's where Ruddles County came from. Or at least Oakham the County town of Rutland is.

        Correct. The Rutles originated on Rutland Weekend Television, which was the programme several of the Pythons did after the Flying Circus.

        I know the drummer from The Rutles - really nice chap

            Not seen that series in years, some of the stories were genius.

                Except that's awful too.
                I agree, the roads are not really up to a daily commute. Looking between Hereford and Monmouth/Symonds Yat area would be worth looking at as they are very nice areas a lot closer to Hereford than Cardiff. Forget Newport, BTW, not as far as Cardiff but really is the pits.

                    Cardiff is miles away Sal!!

                    Try The Malverns, or Malvern itself. And Ledbury is a lovely little place. Or Evesham.

                    It's a lovely part of the country, even across the border into Wales (Monmouth way) is great.

                    Why spoil it by commuting to Cardiff??

                      It is indeed great for kayakking; the pub's better though. The Saracen iirc.
