Not so ancient as you'd think - the market is full of obese, orange-peel legs squeezed into their daughters' leggings, hair scrunchied so tight their eyebrows have disappeared, stuffing hot dogs and burgers down as quick as they arrive - every one of them a prime porker. Outside the school in St Mary's Road there is a patch by the gate that is smothered with cigarette ends where they drop the piglets off for the morning. It really is a hole.

I manage to get to the top of the Peak District a few times a year, but to force my lazybones daughter onto a moor to look at a dimple on a stone would cost me an arm and a leg in bribes !

Yes, we were muttering about the Geordie dialect last week and, really, I just associate it with awful pig ignorance and the physical and mental abuse of everything that pokes its head out of the grass. Dom Joly was having a go at Swindon, last week, but I confuse him with both Ali G/Brat *and* David Shayler ... (But back to the stones)
