Nice and lively up here, Barry. Mind you, your nefarious in-laws need the relative sanctity of Cressington to smuggle in all that Nazi gold, init.

On that note, how is my “planning application” for “Derby Derby” going? Would the in-laws also entertain @Goatboy’s “Darbados” idea? It’s basically the same thing, but we’ll put it in Fawley.

I hear they’re looking to knock down the old power station so there’ll be plenty of room for it.

Can’t think I have only ever read articles, why? Does that make my assessment of Latin America wrong? It was founded as we know it by conquest and allegiance to Spain and Portugal, totally different from our own North American enterprise.
