Thanks Barbara. I had to satisfy, in my own mind at least, my curiosity as to why the villagers spend so much time going there!
Can't be for extra "hanky panky", as they do just find in the "going indoors" hut. Can't be for covert opperations, like drugs, money laundering, etc. because the villagers are too innocent for that (which is why I love the game... it's good clean fun, for a change!).
So it has to be to do just what we do... grab every spare moment to play games on our PDA's! lol!
