I think you may misunderstand Blue_Circle. This is not a case of being unwelcoming at all. We are here in a community of around 1000 people, isolated and with very little to "entertain" guests and we are about to be inundated, not with families, but with
500+ single males (single as in lone travellers) of questionable and unknown background. I am sure you would be as equally upset if 500 Geordie, Scouse, Brummie males were over your back fence.
You give the impression that your family came here as a family and by normal means. That is NOT what is happening at Linton.
