France - Child deaths in cars

[marty]

I prefer to think of Watford as no-man's land. I went there once to watch Saracens v Gloucester. It was cold and I had to wrap up warm. I felt uncomfortable and was convinced I'd need my passport to get home again.

The further north you go, the more layers of clothing you have to wear (although people in Newcastle appear to have mutated and don't require any more than a t-shirt). Strangely northerners appear to be a rather jolly bunch, despite living off a diet of lard, and the terrible climate.

I'm all for slicing the country in two (just above outer lane of the M25 would do it), leaving everywhere from the midlands upwards free to drift further towards Greenland and allowing the rest of us to set sail for warmer climes near Portugal, bypassing France completely (obviously). Happy days!!
