  I think Roger has hit the nail on the head there about the changes in society being to blame mostly for the disenchantment, particularly for the older ones as the younger ones dont seem to care either way.
  
  There was a story on R4 this morning about the Village of Sandhurst where the famed Military Academy is. It has existed as is for centuries, but right next to the Academy planning permission had.. had, been granted for a full minareted Mosque, thereby completely... in the words of locals... destroying the village. England becomes somewhere else, no longer England. This is the view of the villagers on the programme..although some are in favour of the Mosque being built, especially the muslim community of course, as you would expect. So the locals are split, but traditionalist have won the first battle now by having the planning permission reversed.
  
  Switzerland you might remember recently took this view as well, in an effort to hold on to their identity. In an instant communities can change..the traditonal England so loved by all is dispersing day by day and becoming somewhere else. But its a sad state of affairs when the people who loved and inhabited the England that was, now want to leave it. Where did it all go wrong?
