OK we come from Dorset.  Beautiful county. After 40 years we will be sad to move when we sell the house next year but I wont be sorry to leave a village which has changed from a place where everyone knew everyone else to a place so enlarged by development it is unrecognizable. That's down to this need for more housing I suppose and our sadness is another person's happiness. Perhaps that's why us Dorset folk are moving to France - trying to recapture the old days.We bought a house here, near Durtal, 3 years ago after holidaying in the area for a long time so have many French friends but have yet to meet anyone from Dorset or Hampshire. Perhaps they have swopped one coastal area for another. I would have to drive for a good hour and a half to see the sea ......

Oy ChrisB, I'm Chris H, born and raised in Hunstanton, are you trying to nick my identity? Why would you want to marry someone from Hunstanton? Were you desperate?

Mog&Meg is a Fenlander, webbed hands and eyes real close together., but she packs a helluva a punch...if stood on a stool!

How long ago did you leave Sunny Hunny - you may well have come across my OH or his Dad (a GP)? They're not too bad these folk from H'ston, once you get them trained properly!
We had the King's Head at Thornham for a while in the early 90's.

Fenlander, now that's a scary prospect..................I tried to get OH to buy a house 'across the river' several years ago, he would have rather had his eyes out with a rusty nail!!!

[quote user="Chris Head"]Ok, ask him about the girl (I've forgotten her name) who's father was the owner of the KitKat. She used to come down to the studio for a spot of 'table tennis' [;-)][/quote]

Nah, I know about her, K** Br*** (in case she's reading!!) - a fair bit older than the pair of you, wasn't she?!!............................she went on to run a pub in the Fens with her girlfriend (was it something Tim and you did??!!) You'll have to do better than that!!

He's out playing 'table tennis' at the moment, funnily enough - or so he told me!

Meg and Mog: When Tim gets back, I'll see if I can find out anything juicy about him in his youth, but considering it will probably incriminate Tim as well, I may not get very far!!!
