The Cheshire Cheese Inn, Hope

You have never been in my company. I rarely visit the Cheese, and I am not part of the group whose presence you found so offensive.

I overlooked your 'on your doorstep remark', but nowhere in my post do I claim to be 'sharp'.

I have lived in the Valley all my life. Is it possible to live anywhere any longer than that?

If you have lived here longer than me, then you, yourself, may in fact be a geriatric.

To sneer at someone as 'stuck-up' suggests that you feel inferior to them. If this is not the case then perhaps choose your words more carefully.

The Cheshire Cheese Inn, Hope

This is a very fine pub. Good beer, good food, excellent service.

There appears to be a number of posters (IvanTabeer, donjohn, maxipop, doncaosdelander) who think that the Hope Valley is a theme park, and burn with chippy indignation that some people have the temerity to live here.

The clue to their attititude can be found in maxipop's use of the phrase 'stuck up'. "Eeh, by eck! The one thing they couldn't tek is t'chip off your shoulder"

The next time you venture into the countryside, I suggest that you leave your inferiority complex in the concrete jungle. You may then get a warmer welcome.
