darren9030: It's actually in a very beautiful area close to Bassenthwaite in the Lake District. I remember it well because i almost had an accident there once trying to avoid a red squirrel that ran into the road. ( yes the squirrel lived )


I didn't know that, I do know Great Cockup near Bassenthwaite.

It's a fell which is accessible via Little Cockup, (I kid you not) I've been up there many times.

No Mam. The subjects were protesting the Motherlands taxing the colonies without our having a representative for us in England so they dressed up like Indians and dumped tea (heavily taxed) into the bay. although IMHO they had every right to tax us. This was indeed their property,They were investing their money into it.

That my friends is what gave birth to these modern day "Tea Parties"professor
