Having grown up nearby then moved to London I was going to give a clever list like:

- Aerial bombardment featuring both shock and awe.

- Contraceptives in the water supply.

- A big concrete wall around it like the Israelis built around the West Bank.

But the place really could do with a decent cinema.

My home town has two facebook groups:
1. Abergavenny is a shit hole!!! But the majority of people are nice
2. Abergavenny Love it but hate It… No Actually I Just Hate It Society

What does it say that the majority of the members to both groups still live there?

EP – Look, I’m not entirely sure they realise I escaped, and I really don’t want to draw attention to that fact.

Has no one suggested that they start a petition to get you back?

Quite frankly I think you should consider that insulting

Northampton was your nearest big town. You’re a yokel then?

All places need at least six Tandoori restaurants.

Oh dear. Has it gotten that far? Has KFC now become a need? Please tell me we haven’t exported their bizarre new product (which I’ve only met in advertisements and assume are much, much worse in person) where they take everything they sell, pile it in a bowl and pour ‘gravy’ over the lot. Surely the arrival of what Google says are called ‘Famous Bowls’ in a small town near Northampton is listed somewhere in Revelations next to the bit about the Mother of Harlots.

I must have missed something somewhere. I had the impression, obviously from the tv of late, that all these tiny outskirt places with no KFC, ice rink, cinema etc were well into dogging and sex parties and stuff. Although I like the countryside I thought it would be too scary to live out of town.

I also note that the individuals don’t have the brain power to think ‘oh, we are missing a KFC, I’ll get one of those fangled franchise type things, earn lots of dosh and move to our nearest ‘big town’.

Keef – I’m not from Northampton exactly, but the fact that we referred to Northampton as our nearest ‘big town’ should tell you everything you need to know about the type of place in which I grew up.

I thought you came from Northampton ? admittedly this is somewhere I have never been but I was under the impression it was a decent sized place and would have thought it well supplied with cinema’s and fast cholesterol emporiums? Am I wrong?
What fascinates me though is the thought that the Undead are using Facebook to recruit new members, tad difficult to virtually bite someone on the neck, perhaps you have agree to meet up somewhere presumably at night.
