Well I dunno Doug, Patrick, I can't do site navigation for you, but I would have thought that the statement on the welcome page gives, I dunno again, a hint or two: "Timothy Grayson is a Decadent Romantic Poet, Playwright and Cultural Ambassador for Leicester City (as awarded by Leicester City Council in 2009). He works for Tudor Rose Publishing and lectures on a visiting basis in poetry and creative writing at the University of Leicester. Timothy is also a regular panellist on BBC Radio Leicester, Patron of the Royal Society of Literature, Chair of the Leicestershire Order of Chivalry, Co-Founder of the Brothellian Movement, British host of international literary show ‘The Poetry Brothel’ (others in Chicago, Barcelona, New York, Athens, New Orleans & Vietnam) and has been published in literary journals on both sides of the Atlantic. In November 2012, the University of Leicester named Timothy as one of 'the most significant and influential writers of [his] generation."

Well, I took a look, David, & all I can say is, ell I'm glad there isnt any poetry or even verse involved: we remain somehow still outside crass consumerism (which is certainly what is apparent there)...
