Non 0 this codswallop on't moors eh Dick-lad?
I've felt the 'tug' when the Mrs wants me to get involved and luckily I told her flatley I was'nt bothered about village politics early on.
I guess the area you now live in has a stronger level of political clout,but you must make that stand and distance yourself...maybe you need a holiday down here eh? (or will that get you in more bother?)
