Carlisle (where I live) airport has just expanded significantly and can now take international jets. We have seen a big increase in Chinese and other tourists this last couple of years who use our small city as a base to visit Hadrian's Wall. I have this vision of millions of the fuckers arriving from Shanghai to do a 'tour' of the Cumbrian 'attractions'. Fuck knows what they make of it all. Saw one group the other day enthusiastically taking photos of a B&Q! (home remodelling produce for the Mericans)

I'm not going to let those Flatlanders hijack this thread!

No. I'm not advocating anything. It is too late. The barbarians have won yet again. All I have left in my sorry armoury is to express quiet despair in this tiny backwater of the interwenz.
