He asked me whether I was a country person  I asked what the qualifications were  he said country born and bred, well  I was born in Liverpool  spent my childhood and early adolescence in rural Nottinghamshire, moved to Highfields, emigrated to the West Indies  and now live in sub rural Blavey so I don't know whether I qualify as a country person or not, but I'd like to bet  that I've milked more cows by hand than he has  if that's any qualification.
