@MrsTerryPratchett
Gold star!

I think Highgate / Hampstead / Muswell Hill / Crouch End are a mecca for these ladies!! So not really a stereotype 😂

Some stereotypes are true!

We all wear tweed and wellies
We set off early to avoid the “traffic” (tractors and wildlife )
cheese rolling is a favourite weekend pastime

Churchdown (Between Gloucester and Cheltenham)

But their cheese rolling is only once a year (and utterly insane)

Hello fellow neighbour! Also, tiresome jokes about people stealing tyres. Or that we are all self pitying.
