You mean you have never been to Fenwicks on Northumberland Street? - worth a visit to seen the plaque of thanks to the aforementioned Lady Gould!

[antongould]

Not exactly but you are almost there- just like me and Fenwicks!

Greetings to all. I wish I could slip in a quick solution to your Z, mercia... but I cannot!

Greetings to all. I wish I could slip in a quick solution to your Z, mercia... but I cannot!

I think I could have a solution to Z but I've answered a couple lately, hopefully Angle or Dave may come along. Btw, what has happened to rubbers, is he another one on holiday?

Are you keeping your houseguests amused Caliban? Shame the weather has been so dismal.

Ethel the Frog/2

Crossroad

Last opera.

[mercia]

can't think why I didn't google Ethel the Frog 2 in the first place
anyway, once I did it gave me a track list including Apple of your Eye
Apple Pie's debut album is called Crossroad
and Rossini's last opera was William Tell
