They say that being British is like living in a land paved with gold. They don't know what they are talking about :( Those road sweepers are pure evil.

OK, your job is to name a State Park.... How do you come up with this? The Legend of Hungry Mother Legend has it that when the Native Americans destroyed several settlements on the New River south of the park, Molly Marley and her small child were among the survivors taken to the raidersÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ base north of the park. They eventually escaped, wandering through the wilderness eating berries. Molly finally collapsed, and her child wandered down a creek until the child found help. The only words the child could utter were "Hungry Mother." The search party arrived at the foot of the mountain where Molly collapsed to find the child's mother dead. Today that mountain is MollyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Knob, and the stream is Hungry Mother Creek. ID: 590680 ·

Yes we have food on the pavement. Old chewed chewing gum is quite nutitional and the road sweepers took cousin Seth away last week.. Seagulls and chips? That means you live on the shores of Blighty? I live inland where we only have genetically disformed pigeons. At least a good sized seagull could feed a family of 5 shoebox people for a week... a pigeon with manky feet is only enough to feed 2 for a day :( Are sure you are not upper class? ID: 590696 ·
