And now to bed!
Simon, don't feel harrassed. Anyway,
wouldn't it be nice if lurkers dislurk and contribute, with things like:
"Hi, I'm from ...".
I have to show Ramos that the percentages can vary. Just joking. Have to
work tomorrow, so early to bed!
Anyway, before that, two bits I found about Dartmoor, so that S. Ward
doesn't have to sound so patronising! Just joking!
--- Coates says that the devil visited Sussex. Apparently it also visited
Dartomoor. From wiki:
"Dartmoor abounds with myths and legends. It is reputedly the haunt of
pixies, a headless horseman, a mysterious pack of 'spectral hounds', and a
large
black dog. During the Great Thunderstorm of 1638, Dartmoor was even said to
have been visited by the Devil."
which wouldn't surprise me. It also visited Buenos Aires (see "Fausto" by
Estanislao del Campo -- a parody on the Gounod opera presentation at the Colon
Theatre, as seen by a gaucho).
S. Ward wisely notes that the Saxon warriors (I call a warrior even if he is
a mercenary! sorry!) used the Roman roads. No such thing in Dartmoor,
apparently:
Also from wiki:
"There are still almost 450 miles (720 km) of footpaths and bridleways on
Dartmoor, but they are for guidance and convenience – they do not have
to be kept to, and in fact footpaths in these sections of the Park
are generally not waymarked."
So -- do we have a Latin American on this list? Or an African-resident
(other than Mirembe), or from India ("Did you like Slumdog Millionaire?"). Come
out!
Cheers,
JL
Buenos Aires, Argentina
