Those who can, do...

I see Green Lane school is looking for new teachers so if education is your motivation and you want a job in Worcester Park then take a peek. It's all that money they've got from the Hamptons....

Being a lover and student of quirky small-town mentality this following article amused me so much I almost entitled this post "If Worcester Park was in Texas". Apparently Stephenville in Texas is currently the hub of UFO activity and the Telegraph has written article which is so telling of the state of local culture that I think the journalist in question must have had is tongue firmly in his cheek at times:

Amateur UFO investigators are to descend on a farming community in Texas where dozens of people reported seeing mysterious lights in the sky. A pilot, policeman and local business owners are among those who insist they have seen a large, silent object with bright lights flying low and fast over the town of Stephenville, 60 miles south west of Fort Worth.
...
Steve Allen, a pilot and freight company owner, said: "People wonder what in the world it is because this is the Bible Belt, and everyone is afraid it's the end of times."
...
Looking through the telescopic sights of his rifle, Ricky Sorrells, a machinist, said he saw a flat and seamless metallic object hovering about 300 feet over a field.

Obviously the connection between the fulfilment of Biblical prognostication and UFOs is well documented (isn't it?) but I thought that locals pointing rifles at potential alien invaders was the stuff of 'Independence Day' or 'Mars Attacks'.... apparently not. Let's hope they never find out about the Worcester Park Christmas Fair and Snake Man or I'll expect a similar drubbing in their local blogs.......

Oh yes, and click this:
