That's so true. Having moved up here from Brighton it really does feel 
like it's 3 years behind up here.
Not to say there's no talented people but I actually got used to 
everywhere having a website in Brighton. There's sweet FA on the net 
about the places in Penrith. And DSL's only come out in the last year 
so hardly anyone local has broadband. In fact we were the ones telling 
them it had finally arrived !
