France it is then. Sorry Stef looks like we are going to come and pollute your part of the world. I`ve skied in Andorra, which is between where Stef lives and Spain, a very beautiful part of the world regardless of the season, it`s also duty free so a bottle of your favorite tipple will be very cheap.
Funding shouldn`t be a problem, I remember the UK arts council giving a sizable grant to three art students to carry a railway sleeper around Wales, if I remember rightly they stipulated that the sleeper had to be painted yellow, although I have no idea why.
Another similar grant was given to the East Anglia mountain rescue team. (There are no mountains in East Anglia, there aren`t even any hills!)
Perhaps if we declared ourselves to be a persecuted minority group (internal combustion advocates) we could get funding to protect us from the environmental lobby. If we declared ourselves to be ethnically diverse and gender questionable, government agencies should be falling over themselves to give us money. Sadly we are a bit short of athletes, the Olympic committee has an almost unlimited budget when it comes to providing training camps in unlikely places. If we fill in an application claiming to be a transgender bunch of persecuted Aboriginal rev heads with a desire to participate in the Olympics we should be fine.
As a Pommie I could easily get myself deported back to the UK. From Heathrow it`s only a two hour flight to Toulouse, from there it`s only about a four hour drive.
Sounds good to me guys, I`m in.
