We have much in common G.........more than one might suppose. Since my ancestors came from Hereford, perhaps we should organise a DNA test.
I often pass through Hereford on the way up to Hartlebury ( then of course going via historic Stoke Lacy and Moreton Jeffries) but I always try to make it as quickly as possible in case some archer comes out of the Cathedral Close and takes a shot at me with his longbow!

It's always been the same in the Marches. I used to go up there to play rugby when I was in school and the fact that it was either the Cathedral School or Belmont Abbey which both had at least some tradition of an upright, christian education didn't stop it being the annual bloodbath

Hey ho, happy days
