If you ignore Anglesey Wales looks like a pigs head. How much more downsizery can you get.

You see, I've always imagined that Anglesey is the other ear, peeking over the top.

Chez doesn't see the man riding the pig. Perhaps its like those optical illusions where you see the vase or the two heads.

Anyhow, fwiw I think there is a snowball effect to people coming out of the woodwork in various areas. If theres a bit of a core of folks in one place (the Camarthen lot, the sluts etc.) then more people seem to gravitate.

The second one as I reckon you lot are a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings who should all be ashamed of yourselves.

You're just envious because you live over there.

Arvo goes on about how the UK is a picture of a man riding a pig. I am SURE that you validated him at some point. I just can't see it, myself.

Not heard about that one before, so couldn't have validated it. Can't see it myself.

Well it is! BW knows to find where he lives on a map because it's on the pig's knee.

I think most people with smallholdings (microfarms) in Sussex are too busy doing their day job in the media, networking and organising their staff to post on th'internet...

It's not a man riding on a pig, it's a WITCH riding on a pig. We were taught that in infant's school. (The North bit of Scotland is the witch's hat. Obvious really. Tsk!)

Yeah... ok... if I close one eye I can see the witch. But you can't see the witch and the man at the same time. Weird.

Don't witches have their own transport?
