quite right


rye lane is a splendid place, especially on a sunday afternoon

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 wasn't sure what he meant by dull gentility.

    • Ah that was it.... When you realise politicians are only ever in it for themselves then everything starts to make sense.  
    • Yup. Student politics. https://bright-green.org/2012/04/09/democracy-and-direct-action-an-interview-with-edinburgh-universitys-new-student-president-james-mcash/
    • I wonder whether his political epiphany and renaissance will stretch to him using his real name - James Ashworth-McLintock - rather than the more proletarian 'McAsh'. To my mind, the only people who should have self-bestowed mononyms are very talented Brazilian footballers - Pele, Kaka, Ronaldinho - very talented female pop icons - Madonna, Shakira, Sonia - or Russian revolutionaries - Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky. Sonia's greatest hits compilation, 'Greatest Hits', is out now on vinyl & CD through PWL Recordings.
    • Probably more helpful to ask simply whether McCash was affiliated with the Greens before becoming a Labour councillor. Trying to explain your thought process and unravel your fevered imagination (particularly when it comes to local politica) is the kind of thing that might require several years of psychoanalysis.
