Also, there is a good community spirit which means that you'd recognise anyone who shouldn't be there!Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191107549698019812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862210932296767630.post-10144382774479009222010-02-22T09:59:38.106+00:002010-02-22T09:59:38.106+00:00I would think your ne'er-do-wells are not star...I would think your ne'er-do-wells are not starving, 'deserving poor' but out for a lark.

Very sad but probably true.BilboWagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913801147278606148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862210932296767630.post-40129551218089932882010-02-21T22:43:01.187+00:002010-02-21T22:43:01.187+00:00They must've been watching The Good Life a cou...They must've been watching The Good Life a couple of weeks ago - the episode where the chap pinched the leeks from the front garden. Not funny really, is it. Sometimes I think an electric fence is needed to keep out thieves.
