I think we might have the edge due to having pebbles on our beach. This naturally makes us harder and more resilient. Bournemouth's sandy beach may well bring the tourists in, but their footballers are going to be that bit more pampered and thus less able to suffer the pain and discomfort of...
So true. I grew up thinking all mechanics were untrustworthy due to the general perception, when so far (touch wood) I've never had a bad experience. In fact, several mechanics over the years have really gone the extra mile for me and not one has ripped me off.
