It's strange the different areas that annoy people - for me it is Liverpool, and I don't recollect going to Bedford in my time here
Hope the Masters is going well...

For some reason when I used to contribute to this thread, I dreaded ending up in the Oxford area for some reason, but I suppose that we all have our own personal dislikes.

Glad to see the thread is still thriving.
