Hello old mate! How are you?

Oh, like the weather. And you?

Mustn鈥檛 grumble. Have you heard the latest news?

About what?

Well, the 大象传媒 Radio Jersey lot have asked this question: 鈥淲hich is the most beautiful Parish in Jersey?鈥�

What a question. Are they mad?

Probably, with all that English stuff on the radio they鈥檝e gone round the twist.

Yes indeed! But what do you think? Which of the twelve Parishes is the best?

Oh for me, it鈥檇 have to be St. Helier. With the shops and the lovely big buildings and the night clubs and the pubs - not to mention the swimming pools - it鈥檚 the right place for having some fun.

Not at all! Town is as ugly as sin! It鈥檚 the Parish of St. Ouen which is most beautiful. There are heaths and cliffs, and farms, and the Manor and Grosnez Castle - and we鈥檝e got cows.

But we鈥檝e got a lot of cows in St. Helier - and even some made of metal as well!

True, but you鈥檝e got the big chimneys of Bellozanne and La Collette disfiguring the Island.

Well, if the St. Ouennais don鈥檛 want any electricity any more, nor their bins emptied either, Town residents will be very happy.

It鈥檚 quite certain that they are in misery now.

Misery? Why though?

Because they don鈥檛 live in St. Ouen!

But what the devil is there to do in St. Ouen?

There are the horse races, and then the beaches - there are a lot of youngsters who go surfing at L鈥櫭塼acq and at Gr猫ve de Lecq.

Oh, I鈥檓 too old to go surfing.

And I鈥檓 too old for your nightclubs. Fancy a drink?

Why not? A good pint of beer for me please.

And a drop of cider would do me good.
