Ah. Slightly different than East Coast vs West Coast then.

I certainly didn’t expect you to end it like that.

At least you still have your sense of humor in a place like this. I admire that.

I bet that place is a dump. Like every place in bloody North Wales.

For once, I completely agree with you.
