Penrith's not in Scotland! Do you have an irrational fear of the north or something?

Why Penrith? When we have just come from there?

Well I hardly agree with the notion that we can't head to the north because you're worried that we'll end up in rural Scotland! That's no reason to avoid the north.

Give it a chance, all right? There is a good bus network up here.

I don't need a reminder of where Penrith is thank you; I do have a First in Geography from the University of the West of England.... :roll:

I love the north, so much so that I've just applied for a role with TPE in Manchester.
