Lacy,
You would have to jump on a red London bus these days and ride into the East
End, or further out generally to find your beloved bangers and mash. Most of
the central eating places now cater more for tourists, and serve
burgers, pizzas and other such "delicacies". I would recommend (at the high
risk of being be-headed in the Tower of London) if you have the money, to
only pay a fleeting glance at London these days, and travel further afield
to such places as Cornwall, Devon, Yorkshire, (and for Ian) - Scotland and
Ireland. Irish folk song and dance will melt your heart, and you will never
ever forget those moments, remembering when you closed your eyes, only to
open them again reaching for your tissue to clear the mist away. There you
will see the simple village life and heritage of the Isles of Britain. Not
in London. Wales has - unfortunately - only sheep and welly boots. They can
sing - after a fashion, but Wales does not hold the <finest> treasures of
history or "art", (whatever "art" means) as other areas do.

I don`t work for the Tourist Board, but if they want to offer me 75 grand to
send out a few mails, then I wouldn`t refuse.

Talking about closing your eyes, would you allow me a small indulgence and
give you all an URL where you may hear some "ditties" written by yours
truly. One of which is for clarinet. It is:

I must finish painting these doors - - --
Kind Regards,
Tony W.
