(When he did have books, he was a scholar in Canterbury - and was a young man when he became reacquainted with Micawber, who worked for Mr Wickfield, also in Canterbury.)
    ... o, it's much worse than that. David Copperfield came out in 1849/50.

    Tower Bridge dates from 1886-94...

My mother's family of six sisters were born in Bermondsey, just behind the hospital. Kit was a very old lady when she died.

                      I think there's an earlier version in Asterix in Britain.

                        Yes, he lives near me and I've spoken to him a couple of times. He still does narration on radio.
