Village That Lost Its Women, The

image

It began as a cheeky bid to meet women, and ended up a global media phenomenon.

But all along Vince Peart had two goals, to get a girlfriend and save his village from extinction. 22-year-old, coal merchant's son, Vince and his mates from Alston, Cumbria have a big problem. All the women they grew up with have left the village. Despite its picture postcard looks, it's a dying village in which men outnumber the women by a factor of ten to one. So Vince posted an on-line dating site in an attempt to breathe life back into the village. They had hopes for its success, but no one could have known that in a few short weeks they would be inundated with replies from girls all over the world.
