La Plagne-Peterborough..... a link

Sitting in an apres ski cafe high up a mountain in La Plagne, France with a hot coffee I became aware of a group of people sitting behind me. I had my back to them but I could tell from their accents that they came from Peterborough. I am not sure if it is a particularly identifiable accent to the untrained ear but as an ex inhabitant I am attuned to the fenland flat vowels. When I left I stole a look across, all wore tracksuits with "Castor and Ailsworth Rugby" written on the back.
