Frinton is a somewhat different place to Walton, I know them both quite well.

My "facts" for what they are (or are not) worth, came from a news article some months ago, in which the BNP did very nicely in drumming up interest there.

It is irrelevant, if the OP considers it to be so - as indeed is their perogative. I intended no offence, and I have no inclination to continue this tangent further.
