    I'll miss Terry Wogan on the radio in the morning - although he did have a tendency to play some awful records.

    I only ever listened to him once - and he played Morrissey 8) but it was all the Wogan "togs" nonsense I couldn;t stand....I went back to 6Music sharpish.

    I went out in the snow today on my bike.
    It was cold.

    I've been to Devon, Wales and Cornwall. Frankly, I can't tell the difference!

    :shock: No difference between Devon and Cornwall? You're all being quite ridiculous now!

    yes but slightly more so.

    I went to Somerset once and wasn't sure when Devon started.

    Auto pad on a Boss GT8 sounds like any Cocteau Twins record. Nice effect, but limited usage.

    Both a bit hilly, both by the seaside, both full of people who, compelling evidence to the contrary, believe it's the best place in the world to live. Still struggling to see the difference!

    If Somerset didn't exist, there'd be a big hole in Southern England.

    On this theme you can tell where Lancs and Yorkshire meet - I often cycle around the borderlands. If you start seeing overpriced teashops, tourists and 'local' people start talking funny (often with Southern accents it seems) then you have accidentally strayed into Yorkshire. In this situation you are best advised to turn around and return to the far less pretentious kingdom of Lancashire.

    Most people in my village get the Daily Mail, but we get the Guardian, Independent or Times.

    So did you 'shell out' for some? Did you 'snap' them up? ...I'll get my coat.

    That also includes Kent, Essex, Dorset, Suffolk, Sussex, Yorkshire, etc... maybe 50 or 60% of the counties in England.

    Maybe you have to be born there to see the diference, but I really dislike the Cornish countryside and can identify it instantly when I see it on the tv or picture; wheras Devon is god's own country - ruined only by Tories, aristocrats and people who have moved down from London.

    Also Devon is a lot less commercialised, with the exception of Paignton, and with a massive interior which includes Dartmoor and Exmoor.

    I could illustrate further with pictures, but this is supposed to be mundane....and I'm about to go to Morrissons to buy some beer and mince pies. Christmas eh? You have to love it.
