By the way, in government we aren't part of the UK
Geographically we are
We are part of the Commonwealth

Valhalla. It's the big house just across the rainbow bridge.

Oh, all right, Surrey (south-east England).

Just splitting hairs: geographically, Jersey isn't part of the UK, it's part of what's known as 'The United Kingdom and Islands'.

Err No. I think you'll find that WESTBURY is known for the horse, not Bratton. It's the Westbury White Horse, and it overlooks Westbury. Not skanky old Bratton. WESTBURY tongue.gif

May I have associate membership? I like Swanage, but pleasant memories of it are marred by being forced to loiter outside the Co-op for hours on end (well, about ten minutes, but I'm very impatient at times).

I live on the very edge of Bristol; actually it's not really a part of Bristol at all........ Thats in south west England for those of you who don't know biggrin.gif

The Oboemeister
I'm forever in transit between Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire (home and general living place) and Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire (school and general social place) which I gather isn't too far from Trebor.
I have been to Burwell in Cambridgeshire on a school trip, would you believe!
Also... you guessed it, Swanage and Studland. cool.gif
itchy1
I live in North Yorkshire - by the sea. Home of Count Dracula and kippers (& thermal undies).
I have lived in Plymouth, West Wales, Gloucester...and Johannesburg (a city that really rocks), just don't stop at any red traffic lights, especially after dark...
Now it's time to go and see if my oboe still works.
Oh yes...and I've been to Swanage, it's a good place. smile.gif

I would believe, we get a lot of people om school trips staying at Burwell House.

There's also a lot of history to the place, and geographically its reasonably interesting as it is fen-edge.

But it was buit becuase King Alfred won a battle in ethandun wink.gif - which is between bratton and edington - the horse is actually nearer bratton as well! tongue.gif - its just because westbury is the nearest town - and who cares anyway dry.gif - the horse is no-longer white and tourists only come for the view - and not that of the horse! tongue.gif

oh and Bratton aint skanky - at the last count we had 4 chavs! - every other person in westbury is a chav! so i conclude that westbury is more skanky!
nicki_flute
When I visited Westbury I didn't see any chavs tongue.gif

Gentlemen, before there is bloodshed here, let me point out that the REAL white horse is the one at Uffington in Oxfordshire.

It just seems to me that it's a waste of energy to battle over a lesser monument.
