Nice picture, but I don't see why the thing exists, or is it only me?

Thanks for that Jeff - thankfully where I live we don't need that sort of inspiration.

Interesting that their figures quote viewings of 33 million a year. This does not include repeat viewings which must be in a very high majority - written by a politician.

I stayed with an uncle in Durham some time back and he asked if we should visit this item, I declined.
