In reply to UKC News: Have you heard the expression gullible prat, that's me, mind you this lot could very well sell off the whole of the peak as a private grouse moor and not understand why we were upset.

In reply to UKC News: You guys have to stop putting these april fools articles up! I keep believing them! the first thing that got me about this one was one of the pictures looked photoshopped. That was honestly the first thing i noticed had gone amiss..

In reply to UKC News: eyes are heavy and fingers sore from a nice day in the peak.

This getting a bit Orwellian (lack of free society) .. what with this current government, the united states global empire, monitoring our every move and screwing us for every last penny , i thought it had finally arrived in the Shire.. . .
