I think that may be the funniest comment I've ever read :) “I have a friend who lives in March, just along from Wisbech, and I got a rash visiting her.”

Some places here are inbred, but that was seriously scary. I have a friend who lives in March, just along from Wisbech, and I got a rash visiting her.

You are right Merry, Wisbech is weird, a very odd place indeed. The whole Fenland area is strange and has an extraordinary history. There is a village somewhere in the north of the Fens (not sure which one) where the people were until lately genetically Celts, left behind as the rest were driven out by the Anglo-Saxons, so maybe Chris might feel at home there. <a href="http://www.wicken.org.uk/">Wicken Fen</a>, which I think was the original National Trust site and one of the few bits of real fen left is well worth a visit. And there are strange and wonderful pubs like <a href="http://www.localsecrets.com/review.cfm?id=160">This One</a> (known to locals as the "Dish"). Chris, The Fens also provide a built in solution to any genetic deterioration through inbreeding - long straight roads with right angle bends where they intersect the fen drains. Splash!

Now, I only grew up in Suffolk, I was born in Ely. Things are looking up in Cambridgeshire since they drained the Fens, my father tells me that the place to go for village idiots was a village called <a href="http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?X=565000.403294268&Y=275000.11760914&width=700&height=400&client=public&gride=564435.403294268&gridn=273872.11760914&srec=0&coordsys=gb&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&scale=500000">Isleham</a> because there used to be a road in on one side and no road out the other side. They did indeed believe in "keeping things in the family", it was a "close knit" community... Wisbech is not in Norfolk, it is in Cambridgeshire. Now, I only grew up in Suffolk, I was born in Ely.
