Budleigh Salterton.  Far too many yobs in their Aston Martins for my liking!   Huurrrmpphh!

That reminds me of another Le Mans tale. Stumbled into an Aston owner's club Vs. Jaguar owner's club food fight in the restaurant on the ferry. Apparently it was the Aston club who started dunking their bread rolls in red wine before chucking them. just not cricket!

I bet a few tweed jackets were heading to the cleaners the following week. ;D

Have you ever tried to get claret out of tweed?!  Impossible!  Better just to get the tailor to whip you up a new jacket  ::) ::)

Funnily enough, that situation hasn't arisen, no.

Then again, I'm one of those kit car driving peasants who lives in a boiler suit. ;)

I'm afraid I don't play to stereotypes, no tweed in the Guffer house unfortunately.  But I could lend you something else a little more Melchett? :D

Not one mention of Hartlepool (until now!) ::)
I knew this place had 'Character' ;D

Well, we have had Middlesbrough and Stockton, I will throw in Billingham, where I am now based with work, and that leaves Hartlepool Next...... :P :P :P

We should sort out a NE OOFer pint sometime, there's enough of us round here...

although i was born and had a good childhood there, London for me is a hell hole now, would not live there even if promised a lottery jackpot!

 And right u behind it is any place near or in lancashire! extremely depressing!

I worked in some pretty depressing parts of Cardiff a few years ago. I love my home city of Chester :)
