You're like Gypsy Rose Lee, Dermot. Only a couple of feathers to go.

I am also a xenophobia counsellor - in the Rhondda. There are two Rhondda Valleys and the people of Ferndale have an irrational fear of those who live in Treorchy in next valley. Mind, not so irrational when you see the fights that erupt at the border post up in Penrhys :-( :-(
