The exercise of reading and the short paragraph below on our guest book was sent to the hamlet of Ely in hope that they could learn to read after extensive funds over a 10 year period. Government Officers were determined to distract them from chewing on straws, drinking cider, witchcraft, baling hay by hand, and the use of horses to plough the fields, and one bright spark who thinks he can fix motors! It appears that it failed, as the exercise has been returned to us as no one came forward able to read it all yet? The department is determined to make this hamlet literate so we have returned to the first exercise of arithmetic and we have forwarded to them the abacus for them to share! until further notice! Electric and Gas was mentioned to introduce them to, but this we feel would to much of a shock to them at this stage, perhaps some time in the future! as wood camp fires are still popular with them along with their clay pipe's!

'Ceaucescu’s Romania with fast food outlets’ was how travel critic Theodore Dalrymple described Walsall, home to the highest concentration of saddlers on the planet. The clearly enamoured visitor went on to liken the New Art Gallery to a Stasi HQ and finished on a high note with, 'while Walsall undoubtedly exists, it is difficult to know where precisely it begins and ends, because it is in the middle of one of the largest and most depressing contiguous areas of urban devastation in the world.’ Now if that’s not reason enough to visit it, we don’t know what is.
