new season, new things to do !

Haven't been there for years, used to be a regular
haunt with the twins... remember when they tried to
get Arthur Scargill to open the miniature coal mine?
They got rid of the fox-hunting scene yet?

Yes - the field was bought by a development company and now there are 247 'affordable' homes on the same plot of land. Just behind this scene there is an elderly lady being mugged by a gang of youths for her pension, which she has to get the bus to the next town for now, since they closed her local post office. Locals are too scared to intervene for fear of reprisals against their family or property; or from the fear that the youths will accuse them of assault and end up in a local police cell whilst the 'victims' now get conselling and a free holiday in Kenya. The policeman cannot be found Bekenscot, as he is handing out speeding tickets in Legoland to under fives for reckless driving.

Is this art imitating life or the other way round?

 That will teach me to go back and edit without re-reading it.

They are not fox hunting. They are exercising their dogs, on horseback, whilst dressed up in red jackets and blowing horns.

Better?

 

Good, I'm glad that's sorted.
