Both really. Live here ( been here a few years now ) but also have to work!!
I know what you mean about keeping it to yourself if you live there!!
Not good practice to dump on your doorstep so we won't pressure you to cough up!!
I get lots of fresh gossip from certain contacts, but nothing I would dare to print on a forum,
however - it really is good to hear and gives a real insight into village lives, as long as you are discrete with it!!
Trouble is - you never really know if it's true or opinion - and things also get embellished as it passes along.
I do know that some of what I hear has good foundation though!!
BUT - - how can you pass it on and upset the people in the place we all love!!
Best to be a viewer from afar!! More fun that way - - By the way did you hear about - - - - - - - - - -!!!!
