In the song 'Manchester Rambler' there are several mentions of Mountains ostensibly by a rambler in the Derbyshire Peak District. Now the highest point in the Peak District NP is Kinder Scout (636m) so do people in countries with REAL mountains smile in the same way as folks in counties with REAL snow smile when they hear about the British transport system being brought to a halt whenever 50mm of snow covers our road and rail systems.

Of course if the aforesaid 50mm of snow falls in London then that is a national crisis.

Even the Scots with their Munro's 283 @ 914m ( a good days stroll for an Englishman) have a better claim to the word mountain. I wonder what the Dutch claim are mountains in their wonderful country?.

BTW John Willie Lees brewery have produced a fine beer called 'Manchester Rambler'. I sampled a few in Weatherspoons at Fleetwood last week and my missus said I was rambling for days afterwards.
