With respect, I fear the Lowestoft Middleorientist Factor has lost the plot - forgotten, in fact, the two guilding principals which kept us in gravy (not to mention Marge) for so long, Viz (as we northern literati say): (a) divide n rule-r-us, and (b) make the buggers jump higher for less crumbs. Now whilst the prospect of a big gig Picnic at Woeful Abbey may appear to fulfil (b) and also attract major EU film-und-kulturfunding, surely CriChek (weren't you lieut. of the XFiles?) will recognise the inherent danger of bringing living poets (however those two words are defined) together? Surely the first vision, Hanging Around in Tyburn was correct. We say: keep to established practice: promote stiffs. RC ACOPM %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
