Over in the UK, #TheGuardian newspaper has finally caught up with the fact that people take drugs amidst the beautiful fells of the #Cumbrian #lakedistrict .

A road sign that has been altered from 'Cumbria County Council ' to 'cunt council' and 'welcome to Cumbria' to ' We come to Cum'

#Cumbria #welcomeToCumbria #cumbriaCountyCouncil #lakeDistrict #welcome #welcometo #cumbrian #sheepOfMastodon #cum #cunt
