Dunno about work permits Peg - but I am sure you would find good friends all over the UK willing to share a roof while you have a sampling of English life. There are many ways of making a buck or two without resorting to anything immoral of course! Bar work seems a favourite and cab quite often be flexible enough to give enough free time while you find out if you realy like it.

Bee good to see you anyway

Cheers - and don't go wandering about selling brooms in Kirby Stephen;-)
