Some parts of Bristol are a real dump, but the villages around it are mostly lovely. Family live only 30 minutes from the city centre, out towards Bath - really is part of England's green & pleasant land out there :) |

Re: Scottish Independence
Only the English hate the Scottish, whereas the whole world hates the English.
Examples of surviving English folk traditions include the Morris dance and related practices such as the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance and the Mummers Plays. In many, usually rural places, people still gather for May Day festivals on the first of May to celebrate the beginning of summer. This traditionally involves local children skipping around a maypole - a large pole erected on the village green (historically a tree would have been specially cut down) - each carrying a coloured ribbon, resulting in a multi-coloured plaited pattern. The festival traditionally features Morris dancing and various festivities, culminating in the crowning of a 'May Queen'. Many regional variations of the festivals exist; the oldest still practised today is the "'Obby 'Oss festival of Padstow, which dates back to the 14th century. The utopian vision of a traditional England is sometimes referred to as Merry England. |

Don't flatter yourself. Scotland is too insignificant to hate. Run along and keep tossing yer caber.
