Subject: RE: BS: Where is Dixie
Gosh this is fun! We have the same sort of arguments over here in Scotland about the number of English incomers, known locally as "White Settlers". The price of property in rurasl areas of the highlands is so low compared to the south-east of England. So some of these English folks come up here having sold a hovel down south, and bought a mansion up here, and then bitch about the lack of services. In this case getting away from it all, entails leaving behind some of the good things, as well as most of the bad. These folks can't see why they can't have a mail delivery at 7:30 am every day like they used to, and can't figure out for themselves why Harrods don't deliver. Some though join in and become part of the scenery, and are welcomed, but as Spaw said, them as don't/won't fit in, should get their arses back down south.
