And petcmembers demand formal attire, Dave. Your "Nowt wrong with me spelling . . . " immediately reminded me of the sound of folk in the Yorkshire Dales that I've been hearing on episodes of BBC's *All Creatures Great and Small*, from the books by Alf Wight, a Glaswegian (pen-named James Herriot). Soon I'll be fortunate to be able to train up there and hear for myself! Would like esp to visit York, and the Minster. Re yuppification: As long as B'Ham still has narrowboat-navigable canals..... Oh, I now recall our trying to locate the architecturally impressive modern residential buildings that I'd seen on the cab ride to the B'Ham airport. Do you eschew each of tonight's debaters? I rather thought Gordon Brown won on all debate-worthy qualities. Nick Clegg may need to review the very old Nixon-Kennedy debate in which Nixon's effusive sweating glowed him right out of voters' thoughts. And Cameron, for all of his frightening conservatism, does seem able to remember and recite figures, despite his frustrating habit of not answering direct questions.
