In the question of townies vs country mice; around here most of the rural properties seem to be owned by wealthy types who (can afford to) buy smallholdings in the country, but who work in town (including some who drive to Norwich then take the train to london).

They definitely don't want windmills near them, and their sprawling homes have flatscreen tv's in every room, no energy saving lamps and minimal insulation (energy's still cheap by their standards).

Despite their location I count them as Townies - and NIMBYs - they seem to be of the opinion that countryside is there for scenic purposes.

County mice are a minority group around here.
