Hadn't thought about the Pilgrim Fathers bit.

Yeah, we exported a set of stiff idiots and they infiltrated The Americas, eventually settling in Dumbfuckistan, where they multiplied. Sorry and all that. I enjoy visiting New England, (mainly to ski at Killington) and meet with some very nice people.

One of the Pilgrims, the Brewster fellow, comes from near me. When I look in a 10 mile radius, we have William Brewster and The Wesleys. Yet most people hereabouts are (fairly) rational. So it can't be something in the water then?

ME? I just enjoy drinking in The Pilgrim Fathers pub, knowing that the only building named for him is the sort he wouldn't have approved of.
