You still living in Shropshire / Shrewsbury way?

Funnily enough, I had heard about that School thing. Lots of similar stuff like that going on over this way as well. Awful lot of paranoia surrounding the issue over here. Some justified, but the greater majority is just garbage. To be perfectly fair though, the Catholic Church owns/owned(?) huge tracts of land around Campbelltown for ages and were starting to flog it off just before we left to come over here. St Gregs College had masses of land attached to it. How ironic would it be if a huge Muslim school were built on former Catholic owned land.

Still in Shrewsbury, in fact becoming quite comfortable here these days.

So Mem's not a regular in here anymore then?
