I'm more than happy to redraw that border much further west.

The Cley Hill roundabout sounds about right....

Had your work cut out there eh, Greenfly ? ...

Fack off Greenfly...

How exciting.

I remember the Concorde prototype flying over Bath back in the day. Everyone would go out into their gardens and look up at it.

Some years later, I met what I could only describe as a bit of a drunken derelict in a pub in Dingle, Ireland. His back story was...
