Paul asked:
>Leicester, is that where Simon de Montfort came from? I spent some of my
schooldays in Warwickshire, at Warwick Uni, a good old dire sort of place,
with many 'shards'. We played Leicester Uni at hockey, think we won (as
ever). <
Indeed it is, I delight (I don't think) living in a block of flats named
after a mass-murderer, albeit a politically progressive one. Other persons
from Leicester include the Attenborough brothers, the Elephant Man, Sue
Townshend, Colin Wilson, Joe Orton, the fattest man in England (Daniel
Lambert) plus a surprising number of religious luminaries from the county
(Wycliffe, Wesley and George Fox for instance)
But I was born in Warwickshire
