Re: No Chooks For Xmas ;-(

Hi,

Thanks for that.
I HATE the city, i love the country.
I feel much better here. I am gutted to leave.
I went to Scotland before i came here and got the
same reception. Maybe i should work on my accent.
It wouldn't have been as bad if i wasn't raised in Scotland !
But i am an IT project manager, no call for them here.
Only people here that make money are A.Irish and B.Builders/Farmers.
The anti-social welcome is the main reason why i am going.
I don't mind being poor so long as i have food and heat.
But i can't spend another year in isolation.
I hvan't eaten fast food for nearly 2 years.
I haven't seen a McDonalds since i drove thru wales on the way here.
Will be nice to be able to buy lawn mowers at 3am again tho.

Oh well end of a dream

Mark.
