I actually quite enjoyed his style of writing, although I may not necessarily agree with some of the observations, I think its refreshing to discover how our locality is viewed by the visitor. Sorry that the text has been removed, but I guess I understand why, given some of the posts....

I enjoyed it too for the same reasons Brum, he was after all a guest here and bothered to write about it. Thanks for posting Chick, it was a nice idea for a thread.

Excuse my ignorance but isn't it generally accepted that the proliferation of nail bars/hair salons etc is just drug-money launderering scams?
